SAS Library: _loadMembers

SAS Library: _loadMembers

Unconditionally loads the information about the members of a SAS Library object into an SCL list

Syntax
Details

Syntax

CALL SEND (library-object-id, '_loadMembers', members-list<, options>);

Argument Type Description

members-list
N specifies the identifier of an SCL list. Each entry in members-list corresponds to a SS library member and is a sublist containing the items in Table 2. Specify members-listas a numeric variable that is initialized either to 0 or to a valid list identifier. If the value of members-list is 0, then _loadMembers creates a new list, fills it with the members of the SAS Library object, and returns the list identifier. If members-list is nonzero, then it must be a valid list identifier, otherwise, the program halts with an error.

options
C determines the options for returning the information:

'APPEND'
appends any members entries to members-list; members-list is cleared by default

'LABEL' returns data set label information for data set members; is off by default

members-list	N	specifies the identifier of an SCL list. Each entry in members-list corresponds to a SS library member and is a sublist containing the items in Table 2. Specify members-listas a numeric variable that is initialized either to 0 or to a valid list identifier. If the value of members-list is 0, then _loadMembers creates a new list, fills it with the members of the SAS Library object, and returns the list identifier. If members-list is nonzero, then it must be a valid list identifier, otherwise, the program halts with an error.
options	C	determines the options for returning the information:
		`'APPEND'`	appends any members entries to members-list; members-list is cleared by default
		`'LABEL'`	returns data set label information for data set members; is off by default

Details

_loadMembers and _getMembers perform the same function except that _loadMembers loads all list items in _getMembers List Items that are associated with a SAS Library object. _getMembers allows you to select the members and list items that are loaded.

The form of members-list is the same as the form specified in _getMembers List Items.

By default, _loadMembers clears all items from members-list and fills it with the SAS Library object members. If 'APPEND' is specified, the Library object members are appended to the existing members-list.
