METADATA Procedure

Overview: METADATA Procedure

The METADATA procedure sends an XML string to the SAS Metadata Server. The XML string, which you specify with the IN= argument, contains a method call. You form the method call as if you were submitting it with the inMetadata parameter of the DoRequest method. These methods are all part of the SAS Open Metadata Interface. For more information, see Concepts: METADATA Procedure.

The METAOPERATE procedure and the metadata DATA step functions can perform some of the same tasks as the METADATA procedure. For more information, see Comparison of the METADATA Procedure and the METAOPERATE Procedure.
