Introduction to the CDISC Procedure

Overview of PROC CDISC Syntax

The syntax for PROC CDISC depends on the following:

The CDISC model determines the set of associated statements. That is, CDISC ODM has a set of associated statements, and CDISC SDTM has a set of associated statements.
For CDISC ODM, whether you want to import or export a file determines what statements are required or optional. In addition, each statement supports both required and optional syntax, depending on the process.

The following PROC CDISC code shows the syntax that is required to import an XML document that conforms to CDISC ODM version 1.2:

proc cdisc model=odm read=xmlinp;
   odm odmversion="1.2";
   clinicaldata out=results.ae sasdatasetname="AE";
run;

The following PROC CDISC code shows the syntax that is required to validate a SAS data set that conforms to CDISC SDTM version 3.1:

proc cdisc model=sdtm;
   sdtm sdtmversion="3.1";
   domaindata data=results.ae domain=ae catagory=events;
run;
