There are two ways to do this:
1) Create an ldif file, then call ldap* with that ldif file.
2) Just pass it all to ldap* on stdin.

Look at this:
#!/bin/bash
cat > $1.ldif <<hrdoc
dn: uid=$1,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: $store
uid: $1
cn: $1
gidNumber: $groupnum
homeDirectory: /dev/null
loginShell: /bin/false

Then you just do 'ldapadd -x -f $1.ldif blah blah blah'

All you gotta do is change the "command" portion of the above that I
quoted:
#!/bin/bash
ldapadd -x blah blah blah <<hrdoc
dn: uid=$1,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: $store
uid: $1
cn: $1
gidNumber: $groupnum
homeDirectory: /dev/null
loginShell: /bin/false
