Hi all, here is a piece of code from sas help which I can not run just by copy/paste method :o)) The problem is the lack of matabase on my local environmental list. How can I initalize the object of type sashelp.mb.metabase to have an access to repositories and all registered objects ???

Thanks in advance for any help, regards, Marcin

" import sashelp.mb;

dcl compcols ccid; dcl resenv resid; dcl metabase mbid;

length rc mbrc 8 mbmsg $80;

init:

/*Create the metabase and compcols class. */ ccid = _new_ compcols(); resid = _new_ resenv (); mbid = getnitemn(envlist('L'),'METABASE');

/* Dump this list to see the format of what */ /* the computed column list should look like. */ exprlst = makelist(); rc = fillist('CATALOG','sashelp.slist.c9.slist',exprlst);

/* Open repository to update for computed column. */ call send(mbid,'_OPEN_',mbrc,mbmsg,'SASUSER');

dsname = 'SASHELP.PRDSALE'; name = 'COMPCC'; label = 'This is a computed column label'; format = 'DOLLAR12.2'; informat = ' '; length = 8; type = 'N'; mbname = 'SASUSER'; value = ' '; editflag = 0;

call send(ccid,'_register_Computed_',mbid,dsname, name,exprlst,label,format,informat,length,type,mbname, value,editflag);

ccid._term(); mbid._term(); resid._term();

return;
