This is some code that Marcy Miller created to expose the metadata into a hold file and use for different functions with her 'Fasttrack' application. It is pretty complex and probably isn't exactly what you need but you will see how to get the info you are wanting.


-* File Extend Metadata
-SET &FOLDERPATH='fasttrack';
-RUN
TABLE FILE SYSAPPS
SUM FNAME
BY FNAME NOPRINT
WHERE FEXT EQ 'mas';
WHERE APPNAME CONTAINS '&FOLDERPATH.EVAL';
WHERE FDESCR NE '';
ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE SAVE AS TBLIST
END

-* BUILD METADATA
DEFINE FILE SYSCOLUM
JOINKEY/A60=EDIT(TBNAME,'999999999999999999999999999999')||EDIT(NAME,'999999999999999999999999999999');
DSPLYLBL/A1000=STRREP (1000, TITLE, 1000, ',', 1, ' ', 1000, 'A1000');
NFILENAME/A100=IF FILENAME EQ '' THEN '' ELSE (FILENAME || '.');
NSEGNAME/A100=IF SEGNAME EQ '' THEN '' ELSE (SEGNAME || '.');
NEWNAME/A1000=IF DEFINE EQ 'C' THEN ('COMPUTE ' | NAME || ';') ELSE (NFILENAME || NSEGNAME || NAME);
GROUPSORT/A2=DECODE DEFINE ('Y' '2' 'C' '3' 'F' '4' ELSE '1');
GROUPING/A40=DECODE DEFINE ('Y' 'Virtual Row Calculations' 'C' 'Virtual Aggregation Calculations' 'F' 'Filters' ELSE 'Database Columns');
USAGE1/A1=EDIT(USAGE,'9');
USAGE2/I4=IF USAGE CONTAINS 'V' THEN EDIT(EDIT(GETTOK(USAGE, 200, 1, 'V', 200, 'A50'),'$99')) ELSE EDIT(EDIT(USAGE,'$99'));
GA_COLTYPE/A2=IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND DIMEN_NAME GT '' THEN 'D' ELSE
              IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND PROPERTY EQ 'MEASURE' THEN 'M' ELSE
              IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND PROPERTY EQ 'CAPTION' THEN 'D' ELSE
			  IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND PROPERTY EQ 'ATTRIBUTE' THEN 'D' ELSE
			  IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND PROPERTY EQ 'FILTER' THEN 'F' ELSE
			  IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND DEFINE EQ 'F' THEN 'F' ELSE
			  IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' AND DIMEN_NAME NE '' THEN 'D' ELSE
			  IF IS_CUBE EQ 'Y' THEN '' ELSE
			  IF DEFINE EQ 'F' OR BV_DEFINE EQ 'F' THEN 'F' ELSE
			  IF DEFINE EQ 'C' OR BV_DEFINE EQ 'C' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  IF DEFINE EQ 'Y' AND USAGE EQ 'YMD' OR 'YYMD' OR 'YYMDy' OR 'YYMDm' OR 'YYMDq' OR 'MtDYYm' OR 'W' OR 'WT' OR 'WR' OR 'Wt' OR 'Wr' OR 'Mt' OR 'wt' THEN 'D' ELSE
			  IF USAGE1 EQ 'A' THEN 'D' ELSE
			  IF USAGE1 EQ 'P' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  IF USAGE1 EQ 'D' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  IF USAGE1 EQ 'I' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  IF DEFINE EQ 'Y' AND USAGE1 EQ 'I' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  IF DEFINE EQ 'Y' AND USAGE1 EQ 'P' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  IF DEFINE EQ 'Y' AND USAGE1 EQ 'D' THEN 'M' ELSE
			  '';
