Set EA in IPL

Husna

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to set the extended attribute of a DCR based on some parameters passed to an IPL file.
Can someone please provide me a sample code (one line for setting the EA in an IPL file).
Thanks in advance.

Below are the code snippets for setting metadata.

/*********************************************************
Function Name:- setMetaData
**********************************************************
Allows the user to set metaData. Only saved content can
have metadata set against it. If the content has not
already been saved, a prompt will inform the user and
allow them to directly save.
Parameters: showmessage
Return Values: none
**********************************************************/
function setMetaData()
{
// Get the name of the current server
var oDCR = new dcrData();
var server = oDCR.gServer;

// Get the DCR path information
var DCRPath = oDCR.gDCRName;

if(DCRPath.length<1)
{
var title = "Warning!";
var error = "Your content has not been saved";
var message = "In order to set metadata, you must first save your content. Do you want to save now?";
if(confirmTS(error,message,title))
{
// Envoke the save method
top._dcWin.datacapture_buttonframe.saveClicked(1,null,true);
}
}
else
{
newWindow2 = window.open("http://"+oDCR.gServer+"/iw/webdesk/tag?vpath="+oDCR.gDCRVPath,"","width=650,height=500,status=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,left=75,top=50");
}
}




/*********************************************************
Function Name:- setMetaDataSave
**********************************************************
This function is called when the onsavedone event is
triggered:
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveDone",setMetaDataSave);

It allows control over when and what level of prompt is
used to inform the user to set MetaData.

Parameters: saveSuccess, true if a valid save
Return Values: none

function setMetaDataSave(saveSuccess)
{

// Only execute if it's a new DCR and save was sucessful

//JF product metadata are used to reference the product in the portfolio search

var is_product = DCR_Path.indexOf("data/product")

if(newDCRLoaded && saveSuccess)
{
newDCRLoaded=false;
var title = "MetaData";
var error = "Initial Save detected!";
