Steps

  1. Start a new SAS session, and submit the sample program CST_CRTDDS/programs/create_crtdds_define.sas.
    This program writes to the SAS log and generates two files in CST_CRTDDS/sourcexml directory and a Results data set in the CST_CRTDDS/results directory.
  2. Review the log to see whether there are any errors or warnings.
    There should be no errors or warnings.
  3. Ensure that two files were generated in the CST_CRTDDS/sourcexml directory: define.xml and define1-0-0.xsl.
  4. Open the define.xml file.
    On Microsoft Windows, you can open it by double-clicking it in the SAS Program Editor. This renders the file in your default web browser or any other application that has been associated with XML files.
    On UNIX, if you have not set up your browser configuration in SAS, you need to copy define.xml and define1-0-0.xsl to an environment where you can display the define.xml file in a web browser.
    Note: The style sheet information in define1-0-0.xsl is not guaranteed to work for all browser types and versions to produce the correct HTML, but it does work for Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher.
  5. Ensure that the first few rows of the first table appear similar to this image:
    first few rows of the first table
    Note: Minor variations in appearance are possible and are not a problem. Reviewing these rows is sufficient to confirm that the product is installed and functioning properly.
  6. Ensure that the define.xml file contains tables for the following:
    • For each domain, a table that lists the domain’s variables.
    • Computational Algorithms Section
    • Controlled Terminology
  7. In the last table in define.xml (which contains controlled terminology), ensure that the last few items in the file are values for VSTESTCD, including the values BMI and WEIGHT.

  8. Close the SAS session.
