Most of
the metadata language elements require you to identify an object by
its name or identifier. If you need the name or identifier of a single
object, and you know where the object is located in SAS Management
Console or in SAS Data Integration Studio, then this task is simple.
The metadata identifier is shown in the object's properties. For more
information, see the Online Help that is available from the product.
Another way to locate
an object is to issue the METABROWSE command to open the Metadata
Browser window, or issue the METAFIND command to open the Metadata
Find window. For more information, select
Using This Window from the
Help menu in the SAS windowing
environment.
To retrieve a series
of metadata identifiers programmatically, you can use the
METADATA_RESOLVE Function if you are processing within a DATA
step.
