Discussion
Every relationship type has the following attributes associated with it
after it is created:
scope-owner
date-created
date-changed
scope-changed
sensitivity
relationship-position
These attributes, called special attributes, are associated by default
and can never be deleted from the relationship type's attribute list.
The following restrictions apply when using this intrinsic:
1. Open mode--The dictionary must be opened in Exclusive
Customization mode.
2. Security--The current scope must be either the Dictionary
Administrator scope or a scope with Extend capability.
3. Maximum Quantities--the maximum number of relationship types
allowed in the dictionary is 512.
