To remove all edit values from an attribute, specify the EDIT-VALUE keyword with
no edit values. In order to leave attribute edit values unchanged, issue the MODIFY
ATTRIBUTE command without the EDIT-VALUE clause.
Description
If you change the edit value of the attribute, there is no check to make sure that any existing values of that
attribute meet the new criteria. Accordingly, if you add or change an edit value to be more restrictive, it is
your responsibility to check to make sure that all existing values of the attribute are updated as needed.
Changing the length of the attribute requires modification of all attribute values associated with that
attribute. This operation (done at restructuring time) may take some time if there are many values for
this attribute. If lengths are expanded, the current value is fit into the larger space; if lengths are reduced,
the following occurs:
• Character strings are truncated to the new length
• Integers between - 32768 and 32767 remain the same. Positive integers that are larger than 32767 are
set 32767. Negative integers that are less than -32768 are set to -32768.
• Floating point numbers will have the number of significant digits reduced from 16 to 6.
Open Mode: Customization
Scope: DA scope or the attribute's owner scope
Example
In the following example, the attribute length for attribute terminal-type is changed to 26 and the edit-
value is changed to be a default value of TTY with no editing (the owner scope remains unchanged).
>MODIFY ATTRIBUTE terminal-type;
>>LENGTH = 26;
>>EDIT-VALUE = TTY.
