How to add the attribute to odm if it contains negative value?

Hi All,

I am trying to add odm_wait attribute to CuAt programatically using putattr(&pCuAt).

I was able to add when the odm_wait has positive value [i.e 0]. But, I am facing issues when the odm_wait has negative value [i.e-1]

As per IBM, these are the odm_wait possible values

Code:

#define ODM_WAIT   -1  /* Wait forever                               */
#define ODM_NOWAIT  0  /* Return immediately if lock cannot be granted */

This is the piece of code from my program.

Code:

strcpy(pCuAt.name, hdiskname);
                        strcpy(pCuAt.attribute, "odm_wait");
                        sprintf(pCuAt.value,"%d", odm_wait);
                        strcpy(pCuAt.type, "R");
                        strcpy(pCuAt.generic, "DU");
                        strcpy(pCuAt.rep, "nr");
                        pCuAt.nls_index=120;
                        if (putattr(&pCuAt) == -1)
                                printf("error: could not add attribute <odm_wait> to odm \n");
                        else
				printf("Notice : %s odm_wait attribute is added successfully: \n", hdiskname);

My program is running without any issue in both the cases [-1,0] and also I am not getting any error when the odm_wait attribute is -1.
But, when odm_wait attribute is -1, it is not actually adding the attribute to ODM.

When I try to access that value it is not displaying any records.

Code:

bash-3.2# odmget -q"name= hdisk7 and attribute=odm_wait" CuAt
bash-3.2#
bash-3.2#

Do we need to follow any other way to add the attribute when it has negative value?

Please help me to figure out the issue.

Many Thanks

add_object

add object(1m)															    add object(1m)

NAME

       add object - Adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp add object  object-name attribute-name = attribute-value

ARGUMENTS

       The full name of the object entry.  The name of a particular attribute.	Specify only one attribute at a time.  See the cds_attributes file
       for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses.  The value of a particular attribute.  The value of	an
       application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.

DESCRIPTION

       The  add  object  command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry.
       If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it.  Usually, this task is performed through the client  application.   See  the  DCE
       Administration Guide for more information about attributes.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the object entry.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       To  add the value ps to the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/subsys/deskprinter, read the cds_attributes file to verify that
       the attribute shown in the following display exists:

		  OID	       LABEL	      SYNTAX
	      1.3.22.1.3.70   printcap	      char

       Enter the following command to assign the value ps to the attribute printcap: cdscp> add object /.:/subsys/deskprinter printcap = ps

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: create object(1m), delete object(1m), list object(1m), remove object(1m), set object(1m), show object(1m)
