Querying Metadata using Proc Metadata

[Scott_Mitchell]

Hi Everyone.

I am attempting to query metadata using Proc Metadata and am having some problems.  I got the base query from https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrmeta/60739/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a003177416.htm (which works perfectly and seems to make sense when I compare the map and the query to the Metadata Browser) and am attempting to modify it to suit my needs.  Initially I am attempting to get the name of all jobs registered in Metadata, then identify those which are deployed and lastly which flows the jobs are part of.

When I execute the following query the resulting table contains no data.  Can anyone help get me back on track please?  I have read all the documentation and it doesn't seem to help.  I have also read a number of whitepapers, however converting the logic they are using to fit my use case is problematic.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Scott

And what does your LOG show? You might want to post the log starting with the first filename statement.

Copy and paste into a code box opened with the forum's {I} or "running man" icon.
