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

NAME

       list directory - Displays a list of all the directories whose names match the specified directory name

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp list directory directory-name [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

DESCRIPTION

       The list directory command displays a list of all the directories whose names match the specified directory name.  The last simple name can
       contain	wildcards.   You  can use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause to limit output only to directories whose attributes have

   Privilege Required
       You must have read permission to the parent directory.  If you use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause in the command, you  also
       need read or test permission to the selected directories.
