Dcb                       Required input; type = DcbType 
                          This parameter passes information about the
                          dictionary to this intrinsic.  It is
                          initialized by the SDOpen intrinsic.

EntityType                Required input; type = NameOrNumberType 
                          This parameter specifies the entity type whose
                          association with Attribute is to be modified.

Attribute                 Required input; type = NameOrNumberType 
                          This parameter specifies the attribute whose
                          association with EntityType is to be modified.

NewOwnerScope             Required input; type = NameOrNumberType 
                          This parameter specifies the new owner scope.
                          A blank string passed for this parameter
                          indicates no change in owner scope.

Status                    Output; type = StatusType 
                          This parameter contains information indicating
                          the success or failure of the intrinsic call.
                          This information is detailed in Table Table
                          3-1, located in Chapter 3 of this manual.

Discussion 

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 the entity type/attribute pair's owner
       scope.

   3.  The entity type/attribute association must already exist.

   4.  Core set entity type/attribute pairs cannot be modified.
