Metadata selections
Metadata selections are used with any type of emulation, as long as a metadata file was
created by a previous task in the process.
Tip
To get a sample of the metadata file, debug your process and step through it until the option View
Metadata gets enabled. This happens when metadata have been created by a task in the process.
Open the metadata viewer and save the metadata file to use it as a metadata sample file in the Data
Selector.
Syntax
GetMeta(Field Name [, Option Flags, Metadata Path])
Here is a breakdown of the syntax:
l
GetMeta(): Always surrounds metadata selections.
l
Field/Attribute Name: specifies the name of the field (or attribute, if the GetAttribute
option flag is set) to retrieve (see "Metadata" on page67).
l
Option Flag (optional): Sets the options for the selection (see table below).
l
Metadata Path (optional): Defines the precise path where the Metadata Field is located.
Note
Metadata Index/Count values are zero-based: the first element in any collection
