Rain, I have some code here that I run in batch mode, although I had to run it in EIS for the first time. This is run on Windows NT for SAS 6.12. Hope this gives you an idea. Meredith

<this is a snipped portion of a 'batch' program I run to update a data base. The following pertains to updating the metabase> .... ****Remote session does not support Data Manager commands; endrsubmit; dm 'af catalog=eisappl.eisplace.compcol.scl'; ***makes computed columns; dm 'runeis appl=eisappl.eisplace.add_mddb.af';

***** registers the new metabase-wont register any new changes; ***** until you register it - new variables, etc.;

***** if this doesnt work, manually go into the Metabase, ***** delete the existing Metabase, then add it in again, ***** and you should see the new changes;

***** if, when you run this, you get the message that the ***** metabase is already registered, it wont get

***** updated;

rsubmit;

........ <end of 'batch' program>

(CLNTMDDB is the library which houses the metabase.) (This is the scl behind the af object)

*****eisappl.eisplace.addmddb.scl;

/*************************************************************

This code will add a new MDDB to existing SAS/EIS metabase. By default all cla ss and analysis variables, as well as displayable hierarchies will be register ed to the metabase.

Since the SAS/EIS environment has to be active to use SAS/EIS classes, you wil l have to execute this SCL code as an EIS application. You can do this by cre ating an AF object under the Build EIS 'Add' button under 'Utilities' and 'SAS /AF application' and pointing the SCL code contained below. You can then exec ute the EIS application by issuing the command:

RUNEIS APPL=LIBREF.APPDBASE.ADD_MDDB.AF

**************************************************************/

length msg $80;

INIT:

mbase_class=loadclass('sashelp.mb.metabase.class');

mbid=instance(mbase_class);

call send(mbid,'_register_mddb_',rc,msg,'CLNTMDDB.eisappl',

'clntmddb.qunt2');

put _all_;

call send(mbid,'_register_mddb_',rc,msg,'CLNTMDDB.eisappl',

'clntmddb.summ2');

put _all_;

call send(mbid,'_register_mddb_',rc,msg,'CLNTMDDB.eisappl',

'clntmddb.naqunt');

put _all_;

call send(mbid,'_TERM_');

return;
