Attributes can be assigned to a file by using the chfile, editfile, and newfile commands. Attributes determine the character of the file.
Note: Although the full name for these file attributes is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_name, CA ControlMinder only requires you to enter the name portion (for example, ARCHIVE or COMPRESSED).
