This article is about the meta() function of the Cols object.
Cols.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
cols.meta()
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");
