Standardlookup

The Standardlookup data set provides a mechanism to capture valid values for discrete variables in the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit metadata files. This data set supports such tasks as validating the content of the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit metadata files and providing selectable values in the user interfaces of other tools and solutions.

Explanatory comments
A Standardlookup data set is provided for most standards with the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit. This data set can be used to define and register custom standards in the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit.
An example of the Standardlookup data set is here:

These records show that the SASReferences data set allows a value of referencemetadata for the type column. The type value in a SASReferences data set must always be non-null. Two subtype values (table and column) are allowed when type is referencemetadata. For more information about the columns and values in the SASReferences data set, see the following section.
