Referencing a Metadata Object with a URI :: SAS(R) 9.3 Language Interfaces to Metadata

When you use a metadata DATA step function for reading and writing metadata, you specify an object by using a URI, which is a concept from SAS Open Metadata Architecture. For more information, see Metadata Object Identifiers and URIs. Here are examples for the DATA step functions for reading and writing metadata:

ID

omsobj:
                              A57DQR88.AU000003

type/ID

omsobj:
                              LogicalServer/A57DQR88.AU000003

type?@attribute='value'

omsobj:
                              LogicalServer?@Name='SASApp - OLAP Server'

Notes:

The OMSOBJ: prefix is not case sensitive.
Escape characters are supported with the %nn URL escape syntax. For more information, see the URLENCODE function in SAS Functions and CALL Routines: Reference.
