Data Form and Data Table: _getColumnAttributes

Delegated to:

Data Set Data Model class

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.

By default, all attributes are returned. To return only certain column attributes, include the appropriate named items in your list.

To return a single column attribute, use the _getColumnAttribute method.

Example

This example gets all the column attributes for the column SEX in the table SASUSER.CLASS. It also sets the minimum and maximum values for the column HEIGHT in the same table. This example assumes you have created a frame with a data table object named TABLE.

INIT: call send(_frame_,'_getWidget','table', tabid); call send(tabid,'_setDataset', 'sasuser.class');

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

rc=clearlist(gattr); gattr=setnitemc(gattr,'height','name'); gattr=setnitemn(gattr,48,'minvalue'); gattr=setnitemn(gattr,72,'maxvalue'); call send(tabid,'_setColumnAttributes', gattr);

rc=clearlist(gattr); gattr=setnitemc(gattr,'height','name'); gattr=setnitemn(gattr,.,'minvalue'); gattr=setnitemn(gattr,.,'maxvalue'); call send(tabid,'_getColumnAttributes', gattr); call putlist(gattr,'Min & Max values of column HEIGHT=',0); rc=dellist(gattr); return;
