HP-UX AAA Server A.07.01 Administrator's Guide

Parameters
• <attr-spec>: The <attr-spec> parameter is an attribute specification. For more
information on specifying attributes, see “Attribute Specifications” (page 293).
Operation
Returns the string value converted to uppercase with same type as the source. If
<attr-spec> refers to an instance that is not present, then a no-such-instance run-time
error is generated.
Value Types
You can specify the following value types for attributes:
• Integer Values: Integer values can be specified as decimal integers, including a
leading '-' sign. They can also be specified as hexadecimal integers prefixed with
0x, in which case they are treated as unsigned. A tag can also be specified by
prefixing the :tag: syntax to the value. The tag value must be in the range of 0 to
31.
NOTE: Integer values can be used with integer, tag-int, and short type attributes.
• Named Integer Values: Named integer values defined in the server's dictionary
file can be specified by enclosing these values in double quotes.
NOTE: Named integer values can only be used with attributes of type integer
and tag-int that have defined name values in the dictionary.
• String Values: String values are enclosed in double quotes ("). Tags can be specified
by prefixing the :tag: syntax prefixed to the value.
NOTE: String values can be used with string, tag-str, and octets type attributes.
• IP Address Values: IP address values are enclosed in double quotes ("), and
specified using standard dotted-quad notation (in case of IPv4 addresses) and
colons (in case of IPv6 addresses). Using an invalid IP address results in a
syntax-error load-time error.
NOTE: IP address values can be used only with attributes of type ipaddr,
ipv6addr, ifid, and ipv6prefix.
• Date Values: You can compare and copy the value of date type attributes. However,
you cannot specify date value constants. The use of a constant value in conjunction
with a date type attribute results in a syntax-error load-time error.
