This activity retrieves information about the parameters used by the specified transformation map definition.

INPUT Parameters:

MAPID: Required

This parameter specifies the identifier of the transformation map whose parameters are to be retrieved.  You may specify the special value *TRANSFORM to retrieve attributes for the current transformation map (the transformation map identified by the *TRANSFORM built-in value).

OUTPUT Parameters:

MAPTYPE:

Upon successful completion, this parameter will contain the transformation map type code value that applies to the specified transformation map.

PARAMS_COUNT:

Upon successful completion, this parameter will contain the number of parameters for the specified transformation map.

PARAMS_DIR:

Upon successful completion, this parameter will contain the parameter direction (I, O) that applies to the transformation map parameters.  It is a variable list containing the number of entries identified by the PARAMS_COUNT parameter.

PARAMS_NAME:

Upon successful completion, this parameter will contain the "names" for the transformation map parameters.  It is a variable list containing the number of entries identified by the PARAMS_COUNT parameter.

PARAMS_DESC:

Upon successful completion, this parameter will contain the descriptions for the transformation map parameters.  It is a variable list containing the number of entries identified by the PARAMS_COUNT parameter.

PARAMS_CLASS:

Upon successful completion, this parameter will contain the parameter classes for the transformation map parameters.  It is a variable list containing the number of entries identified by the PARAMS_COUNT parameter.  Each entry may contain one of the following values:

*FPFILE: indicates that the parameter receives a file path

*DXDB: indicates that the parameter receives the name of a database configuration

If the value is blank, then the parameters class is not defined - this corresponds to LANSA Composer display the class as 'General'.
