Validating CDISC SDTM Data in a SAS Data Set

Overview

This example validates CDISC SDTM data that is stored in a SAS data set.

Program

The following SAS program validates CDISC SDTM data that is stored in the SAS data set Results.AE:
  1. The LIBNAME statement assigns the libref Results to the physical location of the input SAS data set to be validated.
  2. The PROC CDISC statement specifies CDISC SDTM as the model.
  3. The SDTM statement specifies the SDTM version number.
  4. The DOMAINDATA statement specifies the SAS data set to be validated, the two-character domain code, and the domain model type.
libname Results 'C:\MyFiles\'; 1

proc cdisc model=sdtm; 2
   sdtm sdtmversion="3.1"; 3
   domaindata data=Results.AE domain=AE category=events; 4
run; 

libname Results clear;
