WRITE ATTRIBUTE 8Dh
Commands
181
Parameter list format:
The parameter list has the following format. The attributes should be sent in ascending
numerical order. For details of attribute data see “MAM attribute data” on page 115.
If the parameter data contains an attribute with an Attribute Length of zero, one of the following
actions will occur:
• If the attribute is read-only or unsupported, no attributes are changes. The command fails,
returning
CHECK CONDITION with ILLEGAL REQUEST sense and additional sense of 2600h
(invalid field in parameter list).
• If the attribute can be written to, it is deleted and will not be returned after a subsequent
READ ATTRIBUTE command.
• If the attribute does not exist, the command cannot affect it. This is not considered an error.
Write Attribute specific status:
The command will be terminated and will return CHECK CONDITION under the following
circumstances:
