Details

To query all table attributes, the list should be empty. To query specific attributes, the list should contain named items for attributes of interest. See Data Set Model Attributes for details on specific attributes.

The _getDatasetAttributes method sets SYSRC for error, note, and warning conditions.

Example

In the following example, the Data Set Model class is being used as a stand-alone model, that is, the model class is not being used with a data form or data table object.

This example assumes you have created a FRAME entry with a push button object named BUTTON1:

INIT: datcl=loadclass('sashelp.fsp.datast_m.class'); datid=instance(datcl);

call send(datid, '_setDataset', 'sasuser.class'); return;

BUTTON1: gattr=makelist(); call send(datid, '_getDatasetAttributes', gattr); call putlist(gattr, 'Data Set Attributes=',0);

rc=clearlist(gattr); gattr=setnitemc(gattr, ' ', 'engine'); call send(datid, '_getDatasetAttributes', gattr); call putlist(gattr, 'Engine Information=', 0); gattr=dellist(gattr); return;

TERM: call send(datid,'_term'); return;
