getSubjectAreas() Method

Retrieves the list of subject areas available.

Signature

SASubjectArea getSubjectAreas(String sessionID);

Arguments
Description

String sessionID

A character string that identifies the session ID. The session ID is usually returned by the logon call. If the SOAP client engine can handle HTTP cookies, you can omit the session ID or set it to null.

Returns

Returns an SASubjectArea Object. For information on the SASubjectArea structure, read SASubjectArea Structure.

Usage

SASubjectArea objects returned by this call do not have table information available. The tables field is null. The approach to querying at all levels is to use getSubjectAreas() to retrieve the list of subject areas, then use describeSubjectArea() to get the list of tables. Then use describeTable() to retrieve the list of columns in a specified table, and finally use describeColumn() to get information on a specified column.
