I've been looking into SAS catalogs lately and was wondering if any one knows what the column "alias" means in the DICTIONARY.CATALOGS table/view. All the values are missing.
Thanks
2 + DESCRIBE TABLE DICTIONARY.CATALOGS;
NOTE: SQL table DICTIONARY.CATALOGS was created like:
create table DICTIONARY.CATALOGS
(
libname char(8) label='Library Name',
memname char(32) label='Member Name',
memtype char(8) label='Member Type',
objname char(32) label='Object Name',
objtype char(8) label='Object Type',
objdesc char(256) label='Object Description',
created num format=DATETIME informat=DATETIME label='Date Created',
modified num format=DATETIME informat=DATETIME label='Date Modified',
alias char(32) label='Object Alias',
level num label='Library Concatenation Level'
);
