In the
DATA step functions for metadata security administration, two arguments
are represented in the SAS Open Metadata Architecture as bit flags
that can be combined with an OR operation. One argument is
flags, which is used in many of the functions.
The other argument is
auth in
the METASEC_GETNAUTH function.
To simplify
usage for the DATA step functions, instead of specifying a numeric
parameter, you specify macro variables with easily recognizable names.
To use the macro variables, you must first submit the macro %MDSECCON().
The appropriate macro variables are documented with the functions.
