Steps

  1. Start a new SAS session.
  2. In the SAS Program Editor, select Filethen selectOpen Program, and then select CST_SDTM/programs/validate_data.sas.
  3. Select Runthen selectSubmit.
    The program outputs to the SAS log and generates a validation_results data set and a validation_metrics data set.
    Tip
    In the SAS Explorer, you can view these data sets in the Results library.
  4. Review the log to see whether there are any errors or warnings.
    There should be no errors or warnings.
  5. Review the validation_results data set to ensure that the following conditions are met:
    • For the records where the column labeled Validation check identifier (named checkid) is blank, examine the message column to ensure that paths and process metadata are correct.
    • The column labeled Process status (named _cst_rc) is 0 for all records. There are not any checks with the result severity = 'Warning: Check not run'.
    • The data set contains 312 records.
  6. Review the validation_metrics data set and ensure that it contains these last few rows:
