SAS Namespace Submodels

Prompt Submodel

The Prompt submodel is new in SAS 9.2. It includes metadata types for the SAS Prompt Interface. The SAS Prompt Interface is an API that enables clients to specify parts of a business query at the time the query is run.


Metadata Types

The Prompt submodel contains the following types.

AbstractPrompt

Prompt

PromptGroup

AbstractPrompt is the abstract supertype for the prompt metadata types. Prompt can be a shared or private prompt. A shared Prompt or PromptGroup is a prompt definition that can be referenced by more than one object. It is located in a SAS folder. A private Prompt or PromptGroup is a prompt definition that is used by one object and cannot be referenced by another object.


Usage

These metadata types are used by the SAS Prompt Framework to store metadata about prompts. Developers should not create prompt metadata directly. They should use the SAS Prompt Interface.
