WHTBLMAP
Metadata type for intermediate output tables produced by column mapping processes
Category: Object Types—Intermediate Output Tables
Parent
“WHTBLPRC” on page 259
Overview
WHTBLMAP models the metadata for intermediate output tables that are produced by column mapping processes in SAS/Warehouse Administrator In the Process Editor, these tables are represented as text boxes that are labeled Mapping For details about how intermediate output tables are displayed in the Process Editor, see “Reading Process Flow Metadata” on page 62
Properties
The following table lists all of the properties for WHTBLMAP and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods
In the table, you can specify properties with a Yes in the Indirect Add column when
you indirectly add one object through another, as described in the documentation for the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method Use this approach to add a new dependent object For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46
You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the
_UPDATE_METADATA_ method, as described in the documentation for this method Use this method to update properties of an existing object For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46
* 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 * Auto supplied means that
the property is automatically supplied; any value that you specify for such a property is ignored
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

WHTBLMAP has the following new property:
ROW SELECTOR specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about any row selector subprocess of the mapping that might be defined for this table This list must be of type WHROWSEL or a subtype of WHROWSEL

“WHTABLE” on page 254
Overview
WHTBLPRC is the base metadata type for intermediate output tables that are produced by processes in SAS/Warehouse Administrator In the Process Editor, these tables are represented as text boxes with appropriate labels such as Mapping, User Exit, and so on For details about how intermediate output tables are displayed in the Process Editor, see “Reading Process Flow Metadata” on page 62

The following table lists all of the properties for WHTBLPRC and indicates how each you can use property with metadata API methods
In the table, you can pass properties with a Yes in the Add column to the

WHTBLPRC has the following new property:
CREATES DATA specifies the numeric value that indicates whether the table has output data or is just a placeholder only
0 —No, this table has no output data It is a placeholder only (The This
process has no output dataselection has been made on the process properties Output Data tab.) An analogy would be a DATA step that performs processing but
is coded with DATA _NULL_
1—Yes, this table has output data
