Set Attribute Statement

This statement sets one or more attributes of an object or array.

This statement has the following syntax:

exec 4gl set attribute object | array index
(attribute = :var[:ind])
[(attribute = :var][:ind]])];

exec 4gl set attribute object | array index using descriptor;

The set attribute statement copies the values from 3GL variables into the attributes of an object or array row. The named attributes must appear in the object or array, and the types of the attributes must be compatible with the types of the variables.

The using descriptor form sets the attributes indicated in the SQLDA set up by the describe statement. For more information, see Describe Statement.

This statement has the following parameters:

object

Specifies the handle of the object

array

index

attribute

Specifies the name of the attribute

var
