Name	Description	Type	Length
DefaultValue	The default value for this parameter.	String	V1024
Delimiter	This is the delimiter that is used between the PropertyName and Default value. It may be a space, an equals (=) sign, or any other appropriate delimiter.	String	16
PropertyName	This attribute is the name used by the software program; for example, the name of a macro variable. This object also has a Name attribute, which is the display name or label.	String	200

Attribute Details

DefaultValue
     Type: String V1024
The default value for this parameter.

Delimiter
     Type: String 16

PropertyName
     Type: String 200

PropertyRole
     Type: String 200
The role of this property (load, access, initialization, and so on).

SQLType
     Type: int
This is an integer value that identifies the SQL type of the data. If other (1111) or array (2003) is specified, the client will need to look to the associated owning type for more information. If there is no associated owning type or the owning type indicates a value of other, it is up to the client to determine how to handle the value. The default value is string (12).

ARRAY = 2003

BIGINT = -5

BINARY = -2

BIT = -7

BLOB = 2004

CHAR = 1

CLOB = 2005

DATE = 91

DECIMAL = 3

DISTINCT = 2001

DOUBLE = 8

FLOAT = 6

INTEGER = 4

JAVA_OBJECT = 2000

LONGVARBINARY = -4

LONGVARCHAR = -1

NULL = 0

NUMERIC = 2

OTHER = 1111

REAL = 7

REF = 2006

SMALLINT = 5

STRUCT = 2002

TIME = 92

TIMESTAMP = 93

TINYINT = -6

VARBINARY = -3

VARCHAR = 12

QuotedString = 2200

UseValueOnly
     Type: int
This means that only the string in the Default value is used. This attribute is true, for example, for the SAS system option CAPS and NOCAPS. The PropertyName is 'CAPS', but the value may be CAPS or NOCAPS.
