Row and Column Attributes
This section focuses on Row and Column attributes, as specified for the MWAPI extension by the addition of version 1.1 of the MDC's MWAPI specification. Row and Column attributes are case-sensitive keywords added to define the characteristics of rows, and columns of Table gadgets. Row attributes define the characteristics of rows, and Column attributes define the characteristics of columns. Example 5.5 and Example 5.6 detail the syntax for Row and Column attributes, as they appear in ^$W.
^$W(<span class="emphasis"><iwindow name,</i></span> "G" <span class="emphasis"><igadget name,</i></span> "ROW" <span class="emphasis"><iritem, row attribute</i></span>)<span class="emphasis"><i=value</i></span>

EXAMPLE 5.6: Column Attribute Syntax
The first three subscripts are as specified in the Creation and Modification section. The fourth-level subscript is a case-sensitive keyword to designate whether the object of the assignment is a row (ROW) or a column (COL). The fifth-level subscript specifies the row ( ritem) or column ( citem) is to receive the assignment. The row attribute and column attribute subscripts specify a row or column attribute from Table 5.8. The value argument must specify a valid value from a domain determined by the row or column attribute respectively. If an application attempts to assign a value to an attribute that is not specified by its domain of values, an error will occur with a code of "M47." [6]
