Parameter	Type	Description
i_api	Class	specifies the passed instance of the METAAPI.CLASS. See Using the Metadata API Class.
l_rc	N	specifies the return codes for the method. A nonzero code indicates failure and means that l_rc is an error list identifier. For the error list format, see Conventions.
l_components	L	specifies the returned list of all components that are defined in the metadata API. List format: comp_id=comp_name. Components are discussed in How the Metadata API Works.

A component is a group of related metadata types. One use for the _GET_COMPONENTS_ method is to get a component ID that you can pass to the _GET_TYPES_ method in order to list the metadata types for a particular component.

Example: List All Components Defined for the Metadata API

call send(i_api,'_GET_COMPONENTS_',l_rc,
l_components);
