PROBLEM:

Via LotusScript, how can you create multiple restrictions in a new
document?  How can you give more than one user access to a document that is
created via LotusScript?

If you use the following syntax to set a multi-value field, the names are
not considered separate values until the document is opened and re-saved.

  doc.ReadersField = "CN=Your Name/Ou=Your Unit/O=Your
 Organization,CN=Another Name/Ou=Your Unit/O=Your Organization"

SOLUTION:

Use the AppendToTextList method of the NotesItem field.  Note that you must
use an Append for each name.  For three names, for example, you need three
calls.

Sample Script:

     Dim session As New NotesSession
    Dim db As NotesDatabase
    Dim doc As NotesDocument    
         Dim item As Variant    
   
    ' ... Set all needed value ...
    Set item=doc.APPENDITEMVALUE("ReadersField","")
    item.APPENDTOTEXTLIST("     CN=Your Name/Ou=Your Unit/O=Your
    Organization     ")
    item.APPENDTOTEXTLIST("     CN=Another Name/Ou=Your Unit/O=Your
    Organization     ")
    item.ISREADERS=True
