Object modify procedure
To modify a value or attribute of an object, the program responds with a
sequence of prompts, one prompt for each attribute of the object. The prompt
specifies the name and the current value of the attribute as follows:
attribute_a (current_value_a): new_value_a
attribute_b (current_value_b): .
For each prompt, the user can respond in three ways:
• Enter <cr> to accept the current value.
• Enter value to change the attribute.
• Enter a dot (.) to terminate the session.
In some cases, the system displays the current value and a list of available
values to select (where the value of attribute_c has been changed to bbbb);
for example:
attribute_c (current_c, (1-aaaa, 2-bbbb, 3-cccc)): 2
After the session is complete, the system lists the new set of values and
prompts you to Modify, Save, or Cancel the modification(s).
