Example 6-30 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.
