setInstrDesc: Set the "instr.desc" attribute

Description

Function to set by reference the "instr.desc" attribute of an existing generic_spct or derived-class object, or of a summary_generic_spct or derived-class object.

Usage

setInstrDesc(x, instr.desc)

instr_descriptor(x) <- value

Value

x, with the value of its "instr.desc" attribute set to the value of the argument passed to instr.desc or to value.

Arguments

x

a generic_spct object or a summary_generic_spct object.

instr.desc, value

a list, instr_desc object, or NULL.

Details

This function alters x itself by reference and in addition returns x invisibly. If x is not a generic_spct object, x is not modified, silently. If inst.desc = NULL is passed in the call, the attribute "instr.desc" is removed. This function is very rarely called from user code.
