Syntax

CALL SEND (metalib-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 SAS library member and is a sublist. Specify members-list as a numeric variable that is initialized either to
0
or to a valid list identifier. If the value of members-listis
0
then _loadMembers creates a new list, fills it with the members of the SAS Metalib object, and returns the list identifier. If members-list is nonzero, then it must be a valid list identifier, otherwise the program will halt 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; off by default.

Specify members-list as a numeric variable that is initialized either to 0 or to a valid list identifier. If the value of members-listis 0 then _loadMembers creates a new list, fills it with the members of the SAS Metalib object, and returns the list identifier. If members-list is nonzero, then it must be a valid list identifier, otherwise the program will halt 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; off by default.

Details

_loadMembers and _getMembers perform the same function except that _loadMembers loads all information about all members associated with a SAS Metalib object. _getMembers allows you to select the members and 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 Metalib object members. If 'APPEND' is specified, the SAS Metalib object members are appended to the existing members-list.
