$citation->set($field, $value)

Up: class Citation

This method alters the current value of the field identified by the field name parameter and returns the previous value. It has two parameters:

parameter	description
$field	The field name is case insensitive and may be a synonym defined by the derived class to facilitate readability. The field name may also be a temporary field defined by assigning a value to it in this method. This method creates a trace entry if the field name does not correspond to any field in the record and debugging is enabled.
$value	The new value to assign to the field.

     $oldvalue           = $citation->set($field, $newvalue);
     $citation[$field]   = $newvalue;              // synonym except old value is discarded
