@file
@brief Create an empty dataset from a metadata definition
@details This macro was built to support viewing empty tables in
https://datacontroller.io
The table can be retrieved using LIBRARY.DATASET reference, or directly
using the metadata URI.
The dataset is written to the WORK library.
Usage:
%mm_createdataset(libds=metlib.some_dataset)
or
%mm_createdataset(tableuri=G5X8AFW1.BE00015Y)
<h4> SAS Macros </h4>
@li mm_getlibs.sas
@li mm_gettables.sas
@li mm_getcols.sas
@param [in] libds= library.dataset metadata source. Note - table names in metadata
can be longer than 32 chars (just fyi, not an issue here)
@param [in] tableuri= Metadata URI of the table to be created
@param [out] outds= (work.mm_createdataset) The dataset to create. The table
name needs to be 32 chars or less as per SAS naming rules.
@param [in] mdebug= (0) Set to 1 to enable DEBUG messages
@version 9.4
