Looping through SAS metadata objects
Philihp Busby,•0 min read
The following is my attempt at SAS Golf, where in a Data Step, I try to list the associations of a metadata object to the log. This is basically just taking advantage of combining SAS for loops with SAS while loops. I thought it was cool. Usually I find myself doing this with metadata_getnasn , metadata_getnprp , and metadata_getnobj
- n - index for the nth association
- u - uri to object
- a - association
data;
...
do n=1 by 1 while(n<r or r<=0);
r=metadata_getnasl(u,n,a);
put a;
end;
...
run;UPDATE: The metadata_getnass function has been renamed to metadata_getnasn
