Example

This example creates a SAS Catalog object, CATOBJ, and initializes it to SASUSER.PROFILE. The _getAttributes method returns the attributes for CATOBJ.

catclass=loadclass('sashelp.fsp.catalog.
                    class');
catobj=instance(catclass);
call send(catobj, '_setup_', 'sasuser.
          profile');
attrlist=makelist();
call send(catobj, '_getAttributes',
          attrlist);

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

( ACCESS='WRITE'
  ENTRIES=31
)[2965]

In this example, SASUSER.PROFILE contains 31 entries, and the user has write access.
