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. Side effects may not be apparent until much later.

Special meanings may apply in the following cases:

• an absent ﬁeld,

• a ﬁeld without a value,

• a ﬁeld with a zero value.

Very little, if any checking is done to see if values are valid. It is the user’s responsibility to range check

values.
