.meta()

Gets the meta data container of the first column in a set of columns. If you already have a column container, this method is a shortcut for having to make a detour via $.udbMeta.

Returns a colsMeta object.

Syntax

Example

Use as a shortcut:

var cs = $.udb("EMP").rows('current').cols("NR");

var csMeta = cs.meta();

Instead of:

var cs = $.udb("EMP").rows('current').cols("NR");

var csMeta = $.udbMeta(cs.ds()).cols("NR");
