Usage Notes
Consider the following when specifying Put Attribute parameters:
Requirements – A Put Attribute function is required when the Reqtype field of the pmiCmdBlock_t structure is pmiPIDMOptPutA_A or pmiPIDMOptPutF_A.
Communication – The Put Attribute function facilitates communication from a client utility to an
Access Module. It might be used, for example, to send the name of the currently active
database table to the Access Module.
Character Sets – Session character set is passed by pmAPutAttr() from the client utility to the Access Module for possible use. The attribute value
is a variable‑length character string with either the character set name or the character
representation of the character set ID. The attribute varies based on how you specify
the character set:
If specified by name, the attribute name is CHARSET_NAME.
If specified by ID, the attribute name is CHARSET_NUMBER.
