Data Set Model: _getColumnAttributes

Argument	Type	Description
list-id	N	specifies the identifier of an SCL list to contain the current column attributes

Details

This list must contain at least a single character item with an item name of NAME, the value of which must be a valid column name.

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 is written as a stand-alone SCL entry:

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

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

gattr=makelist(); gattr=setnitemc(gattr, 'sex', 'name'); call send(datid, '_getColumnAttributes', gattr); call putlist(gattr, 'All Attributes for SEX=', 0);

rc=clearlist(gattr); gattr=setnitemc(gattr,'height','name'); gattr=setnitemc(gattr,'4.1','format'); call send(datid,'_setColumnAttributes', gattr);

rc=clearlist(gattr); gattr=setnitemc(gattr, 'height', 'name'); gattr=setnitemc(gattr, ' ', 'format'); call send(datid, '_getColumnAttributes', gattr); call putlist(gattr, 'Format of Column HEIGHT=', 0); rc=dellist(gattr); return;

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