Overview

SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit supports the submission of SAS processes using predefined metadata files. These files are introduced and described in Metadata File Descriptions. The key metadata file that supports this functionality is the SASReferences file. This SAS data set essentially identifies all of the key inputs and outputs for any SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit process. Each unique process can have an associated, unique SASReferences file. However, SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit offers many standardization aids, so more generic SASReferences files are preferable.
The required SASReferences file structure is provided in SASReferences Data Set Structure and example content is provided in A Sample SASReferences Data Set.
