Add Attribute Actions

Adding attribute actions consists of the following subordinate activities:

When you CREATE an entity, you assign values to its identifier attributes. When you CREATE or UPDATE an entity, you can SET any attribute value.

When you work with attribute actions, you use the SET action to assign a value to an individual attribute view. SET either establishes an initial value for an attribute or changes an existing value. You can SET an attribute by assigning a specific value using the TO option, or by calculating a value USING an algorithm.

When using the TO option, CA Gen presents expressions that are consistent with the primitive domain of the attribute you selected.

The SET action is used in CREATE or UPDATE action blocks and also can be used as a standalone action. The SE action is similar to SET clause.
