Syntax

d = universes(c)

d = universes(c,universeid)

d = universes(c,universeid,requesttype)

Description

d = universes(c) returns universe information for all universes using an IHS Markit^® connection.

d = universes(c,universeid) returns universe information for a specific universe.

d = universes(c,universeid,requesttype) returns universe information based on the request type.

Examples

Retrieve Universe Information for All Universes

Using an IHS Markit connection, retrieve universe information for all universes.

Create an IHS Markit connection using your user name and password. c is an ihsmarkitrs object.

username = 'ABCDEF';
password = 'ABC123';
c = ihsmarkitrs(username,password);

Retrieve universe information for all universes using the IHS Markit connection. d is a table that contains the universe information.

Retrieve Universe Information for Specific Universe

Using an IHS Markit connection, retrieve universe information for a specific universe.

Create an IHS Markit connection using your user name and password. c is an ihsmarkitrs object.

username = 'ABCDEF';
password = 'ABC123';
c = ihsmarkitrs(username,password);

Retrieve universe information for the QSG World universe using the IHS Markit connection. d is a table that contains the universe information.

universeid = "QSG World";
d = universes(c,universeid)
