303.0. "oa$curdoc_modify" by BODRUM::YEGEN () Mon Mar 23 1992 19:49

    Version of the ALL-IN-1 is 2.4 and I am asked to do the following:
    Change two specific characters again to other two specific characters
    in the filecabinets of all the 30 users. I can scan the filecabinets of 
    the users and using the search and replace function do this easily
    only for the documents which can be edited. But when it comes to
    mails I can not handle them. I tried the two commands in order to use 
    the script which includes the search and replace function  afterwards,
    
    <CABINET CHANGE_ATTRIBUTE ,"MODIFY","N","Y"
    or
    <CABINET ADD_ATTRIBUTE ,"MODIFY","Y"
    
    but both of them did not let me to modify the field OA$CURDOC_MODIFY to "Y". 
    
    Any help would be appreciated,

    I would try something like:
    
    	get #abc = oa$curdoc                                                  
     	get oa$function='write change cab$ key=#abc,modify=oa$y'
    
    I'll let one of the ALL-IN-1 gurus explain to you why what you're
    trying doesn't work (mainly because I don't know!  :-)).
    
    The explanation may be as simple as "You can't change the attribute
    because the document is not modifiable," but what do I know?

    Use Paul's solution given in .1. It works...
