Default"_image_"

seed=64-bit-integer

specifies a seed for writing images randomly.

Default0

sortBy={{fetchorderbyelement-1} <, {fetchorderbyelement-2}, ...>}

specifies the variables and variable settings for sorting results.

AliasorderBy

The fetchorderbyelement value can be one or more of the following:

formatted="FORMATTED" | "RAW"

specifies whether the variables are formatted or use raw values.

AliasimageTable

The castable value can be one or more of the following:

specifies the caslib for the input table that you want to use with the action. By default, the active caslib is used. Specify a value only if you need to access a table from a different caslib.

computedOnDemand=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, creates the computed variables when the table is loaded instead of when the action begins.

AliascompOnDemand
DefaultFALSE
computedVars={{casinvardesc-1} <, {casinvardesc-2}, ...>}

AliasimageTable

The castable value can be one or more of the following:

caslib="string"

specifies the caslib for the input table that you want to use with the action. By default, the active caslib is used. Specify a value only if you need to access a table from a different caslib.

computedOnDemand=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, creates the computed variables when the table is loaded instead of when the action begins.

AliascompOnDemand
DefaultFALSE
computedVars=list( list(casinvardesc-1) <, list(casinvardesc-2), ...>)

specifies the names of the computed variables to create. Specify an expression for each variable in the computedVarsProgram parameter. If you do not specify this parameter, then all variables from computedVarsProgram are automatically included.

AliascompVars

For more information about specifying the computedVars parameter, see the common casinvardesc parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

computedVarsProgram="string"

specifies an expression for each computed variable that you include in the computedVars parameter.

AliascompPgm
dataSourceOptions=list(key-1=list(any-list-or-data-type-1) <, key-2=list(any-list-or-data-type-2), ...>)

specifies data source options.

specifies the settings for reading a table from a data source.

Aliasimport

For more information about specifying the importOptions parameter, see the common importOptions parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

* name="table-name"

specifies the name of the input table.

singlePass=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, does not create a transient table on the server. Setting this parameter to True can be efficient, but the data might not have stable ordering upon repeated runs.

DefaultFALSE
vars=list( list(casinvardesc-1) <, list(casinvardesc-2), ...>)

specifies the variables to use in the action.

For more information about specifying the vars parameter, see the common casinvardesc parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

where="where-expression"

specifies an expression for subsetting the input data.

whereTable=list(groupbytable)

specifies an input table that contains rows to use as a WHERE filter. If the vars parameter is not specified, then all the variable names that are common to the input table and the filtering table are used to find matching rows. If the where parameter for the input table and this parameter are specified, then this filtering table is applied first.

The groupbytable value can be one or more of the following:

casLib="string"

specifies the caslib for the filter table. By default, the active caslib is used.

dataSourceOptions=list(adls_noreq-parameters | bigquery-parameters | clouddex-parameters | db2-parameters | dnfs-parameters | esp-parameters | hadoop-parameters | hana-parameters | impala-parameters | jdbc-parameters | mongodb-parameters | mysql-parameters | odbc-parameters | oracle-parameters | path-parameters | postgres-parameters | redshift-parameters | s3-parameters | sforce-parameters | snowflake-parameters | spark-parameters | spde-parameters | sqlserver-parameters | teradata-parameters | vertica-parameters | yellowbrick-parameters)

specifies data source options.

Aliasoptions, dataSource

importOptions=list(fileType="ANY" | "AUDIO" | "AUTO" | "BASESAS" | "CSV" | "DOCUMENT" | "DTA" | "ESP" | "EXCEL" | "FMT" | "HDAT" | "IMAGE" | "JMP" | "LASR" | "PARQUET" | "SPSS" | "VIDEO" | "XLS", fileType-specific-parameters)

specifies the settings for reading a table from a data source.

Aliasimport

For more information about specifying the importOptions parameter, see the common importOptions parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

* name="table-name"

specifies the name of the filter table.

vars=list( list(casinvardesc-1) <, list(casinvardesc-2), ...>)

specifies the variable names to use from the filter table.

For more information about specifying the vars parameter, see the common casinvardesc parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

where="where-expression"

specifies an expression for subsetting the data from the filter table.

to=64-bit-integer

specifies the ordinal position of the last image row to return.
