Does anyone know details about "%metadata"?

App Pkg PTS_SEARCH.Utilities

REM Get %Metadata:ComponentDefn:ComponentDefn;

method GetCurrentComponentDefn

   Local %metadata:ComponentDefn:ComponentDefn_Manager &m_mgrComponent;

   /* Build the key */

   Local %metadata:Key &key = create %metadata:Key(key:Class_PanelGroup, %PanelGroup, key:Class_Market, %Market);

  

   /* Make sure it exists */

   If &m_mgrComponent.DefnExists(&key) Then

          &defn = &m_mgrComponent.GetDefn(&key);   <------ THIS CODE GETS AN EXCEPTION "Caught Exception: You do not have access to objects of type COMPONENT. (78,7) (2,-1) PTS_SEARCH.Utilities.OnExecute  Name:GetCurrentComponentDefn  PCPC:411  Statement:9"
