Modifying attribute properties | Sybase 7.5 guide

Defining attributes

The Attributes page appears. It lists attributes defined for the class.

3Click a blank line in the list. or

Click the Add a Row tool.

An arrow appears at the beginning of the line.

4Type an attribute name and an attribute code.

5Click OK.

The attribute is created for the class and appears in the list of attributes for the class.

6Click OK.

Modifying attribute properties

There are two approaches to modifying attribute properties:

♦Modify the property sheet of an attribute

♦Modify an entry in the list of attributes
