Function me::SetAttribute(runtimeId, attr, txt)

me::SetAttribute

The procedure me::SetAttribute changes the contents of an attribute of a runtime identifier.

me::SetAttribute(
        runtimeId,  ! (input) an element
        attr,       ! (input) an element
        txt         ! (input) a string expression
)

Arguments

runtimeId

An element in the set AllIdentifiers referencing a runtime identifier.

attr

An element in the set AllAttributeNames

txt

The text to be assigned. Using the empty string will effectively delete the attribute from the runtime identifier.

Return Value

Returns 1 if the text assignment to the attribute is successful, 0 otherwise. In the latter case error(s) have been raised. When runtimeId doesn’t reference a runtime identifier an error will be raised.

Example

Viewing a small runtime library with prefix frerl in the model explorer:

Let

• ep_functionReferenceExampleRuntimeParameter refer to the parameter in the runtime library, then the code:

me::SetAttribute(
        runtimeId :  ep_functionReferenceExampleRuntimeParameter,
        attr      :  'text',
        txt       :  "just another runtime identifier");
_sp_text := me::GetAttribute(
        runtimeId :  ep_functionReferenceExampleRuntimeParameter,
        attr      :  'text');
display _sp_text ;

produces the following in the listing file:

_sp_text := "just another runtime identifier" ;
