Something like this:

# UPDATE msSFU30MaxUidNumber/msSFU30MaxGidNumber
# Input : $1 $2
# $1: what to update (msSFU30MaxUidNumber or msSFU30MaxGidNumber)
# $2: Next Number
#
# Output : Nothing
_updatemax () {
echo "Updating $1"

newid="dn: CN=$domainNETBios,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,$domainDN
changetype: modify
replace: $1
$1: $2"

echo "${newid}" | $LDBMODIFYBIN -H "$ldbdb" > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    echo "Error updating $1 in AD."
    exit 1
fi

echo "Successfully updated $1 in AD"
}
