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's owner scope.
3. Core set entity types cannot be modified, except for external
names. These can be modified only by the Dictionary
Administrator.
4. Only the external name will be changed, even if the current name
mode is internal. Internal names are fixed, and used for
reference only.
