WARNINGS
       This command is intended for SAM use only.  It may change with each release and can not be guaranteed to be backward compatible.

       Several database fields interact with others.  The side effects of an individual change may not cause a problem till much later.

       Special meanings may apply in the following cases:

	      o      an absent field
	      o      a field without a value
	      o      a field with a zero value
