Example

This example creates and initializes a SAS Library object, LIBOBJ, to the WORK library. _getAttributes returns the attributes for LIBOBJ into ATTRLIST.

libclass=loadclass
         ('sashelp.fsp.library.class')
libobj=instance(libclass);
call send(libobj, '_setup_', 'work');
attrlist=makelist();
call send (libobj, '_get_attributes_',
           attrlist);

If you use PUTLIST to list the contents of ATTRLIST, you will see something similar to this:

( SEQUENTIAL=0
 )[2967]
