Extract summary information about a DataSet.
Synopsis
- [out1, out2,...] = getdatasource(dataset1, dataset2,...)
Description
The input(s) dataset1, dataset2,... are dataset objects. GETDATASOURCE returns structures containing useful summary information about each dataset object including the contents of the dataset fields: name, author, date, and moddate. Also returned in the structure is the size of the data field.
Inputs
- dataset1 = first input dataset object
Optional Inputs
- dataset2, ... = second (and so on) dataset objects
Outputs
- out1 = structure containing information corresponding to dataset1 (and so on for out2 . . .)
