Overview

WHTXTCAT is the base metadata type for SAS catalog entry text files in SAS/Warehouse Administrator.

Properties

The following table lists all of the properties for WHTXTCAT and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods.

In the table, you can pass properties with a Yes in the Add column to the _ADD_METADATA_ method. Use this method to add a new object.

You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method. Use this method to update properties of an existing object.

* Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this property when you use a given method. * Default indicates that the system will provide a default value for that property if you do not provide one.

Properties with a Yes in the Read Method Expand Parm column are valid with the expand parameter of the _GET_METADATA_ method. This method enables you to get detailed metadata about a property and its associated objects through a single method call.
