This does precisely the same thing as your original, but it may help illustrate that you're retaining the iVar to which the incoming parameter is assigned, not the parameter itself:

-(void)setClientCode:(NSString *) aString {
[clientCode release];
clientCode = aString;
[clientCode retain];
}

I like that sequence better, but what if aString and clientCode are the same object, as Tony pointed out? Would it work to do it this way (use autorelease instead):

-(void)setClientCode:(NSString *) aString {
[clientCode autorelease];
clientCode = aString;
[clientCode retain];
}

That does not guarantee another release if clientCode is already in the autorelease pool, but could it be?
