What Is the CDISC Procedure?

The CDISC procedure provides functionality that is based on specific CDISC models. The procedure currently supports the following CDISC models and functionality:

CDISC ODM version 1.2

PROC CDISC provides the ability to import and export XML documents that conform to CDISC ODM version 1.2.

Importing is the process of reading an external XML document as a SAS data set.
Exporting is the process of writing a SAS data set to an output XML document that conforms to a CDISC model.

Note: For CDISC ODM support after version 1.2, see SAS Clinical Data Integration.

CDISC SDTM version 3.1

PROC CDISC performs data content validation on a SAS data set that conforms to CDISC SDTM version 3.1. PROC CDISC validates the SAS data set against domain definitions that are provided by CDISC SDTM.

Note: For CDISC SDTM support after version 3.1, see the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit and SAS Clinical Data Integration.

Tip

A SAS data set is any file that is accessed by SAS, such as a SAS data file or a file that points to data from other sources, such as a DBMS table that is accessed with a SAS/ACCESS engine.
