The EIFTYPES option holds a list of the types of objects that are contained in the list produced by the EIFNAMES option. The types are listed in the same order as the corresponding object names in the EIFNAMES list.
Example 5-30 Checking What You Have Imported
Suppose you have exported the units variable and the productset valueset from an analytic workspace named demo to a file called myfile.eif. After importing the contents of the file into a new workspace, you can use the EIFNAMES and EIFTYPES options to see the names and object types of the objects you have just imported.
Create the workspace and import the objects with these statements.
AW CREATE mytest IMPORT ALL FROM EIF FILE 'myfile.eif'
Send the names of the imported objects to the current outfile with this statement
SHOW EIFNAMES
to produce this output.
DISTRICT PRODUCT MONTH UNITS PRODUCTSET
Send the types of the imported objects to the current outfile with this statement
SHOW EIFTYPES
to produce this output.
