ldapmodify not working, command mistakes

when you are running an ldif file with a lot of attributes to load into OID and getting error don't know what the reason is. please check space between each  record you are trying to import and definition of each record.

for example you are adding attributes to OID with below ldif file

Wrong Formate

dn: cn=subSchemaSubentry
changetype: modify
add: attributetypes
attributetypes: ( 2.16.840.1.113894.9999.1.24 NAME 'tAuthenticateUser' DESC

and run below command
./ldapmodify -h qatovdx.unix.gsm.org -p 389 -D cn=orcladmin -w yourpassword  -v -f  /tmp/oid/tattributes_withspace.ldif

ldapmodify: no attributes to change or add (entry cn=subschemasubentry )

the issue is, each attribute need to have complete command and second and commonly over looked mistake is there is space between attribute command and attribute definition. so the command should be like this.
