Should only be used with string properties (names etc.).


                            Syntax

SETPROP options [servername/]objectname propertyname [value]
SETPROP options [servername/]objectname propertyname(ix) [value]
SETPROP options [servername/]objectname:propertyname=value
SETPROP options [servername/]objectname:propertyname(ix)=value
SETPROP options [servername/]objectname !ON [value]
SETPROP options [servername/]objectname:!ON=value

Options:
/Q    Quiet mode. Nothing will be displayed.

/O:x  Object type. Both object type numbers and abbreviations can 
      be used for the x parameter. See below for the possible values. 
      If no object type is given, user type is assumed.
      By using * any object type will be processed.

/S:xy Property security level. Sets the security mask for the property.
      x determines who can see/read the property.
      y determines who can write/change/delete the property.
      The following values are valid for the x parameters:
        A   Anyone connected to the server
        L   Anyone logged in to the server
        O   Supervisor equivalents, object itself, managers and equivalents
        S   Supervisor
        -   Don't change this security level
      /S option is not valid with !ON (see below).

/D    Display property security information.

Parameters:
servername   if the object is on another server than the current one 
             the server parameter can be used to select the server.

objectname   is the name of the object owning the property. If wildcards 
             are used SetProperty will run through all matching objects.
             A - refers to the currently logged in object.
             If the objectname starts with a #, SetProperty will run 
             through all members of the group. 
             If a type is specified only the members matching the 
             specified type will be processed.
             Instead of the object name you can use the object ID in
             hex notation preceding it with \x, ie. \x68000003

propertyName is the name of the property to be set/changed/displayed.
             If it doesn't exist it will be created (if a value is 
             given). This requires supervisor equivalence.
             A number ix inside () after the propertyname indicates that 
             the property is a string array. ix is the number of the 
             string referred to. A string array can consist of up to 20 
             strings with a total length of 980 bytes (including zero's).
             !ON as propertyname tells SetProperty to change the objects 
             name to the one indicated by value.

value        The new value of the named property. The value string should
             be enclosed by " if it is more than one word.
             If no value is given, the current value will be displayed.
             If value is - the property will be removed from the bindery.

The different object types are :
  No Abbreviation  Description
   1 us            User
   2 ug            User group
   3 pq            Print queue
   5 js            Job Server
   6 gw            Gateway
   7 ps            Print server
   8 aq            Archive queue
   9 as            Archive server
  10 jq            Job queue
  11 ad            Administration
     *             All object types
