Creation

A Programmable Macro Language (PML) attribute instance may be created for a system attribute or a User defined Attribute (UDA).

!AXLEN = object attribute('XLEN')

!UINT = object attribute(':UINT')

The class should not be confused with the attribute value. The actual Attribute value for a particular Element can only be accessed via the DBREF class or via the QUERY command. Comparing two Attributes just compares whether they identify the same attribute, the comparison does not look at attribute values in any way.
