The SAS Clinical Standards
Toolkit implementation of the CDISC ADaM 2.1 standard provides metadata
templates for creating analysis data sets that conform to the structure
prescribed in the Analysis Data Model (ADaM) Implementation
Guide, Version 1.0. You can use the SAS Clinical Standards
Toolkit metadata in the reference_tables and reference_columns data
sets to create these templates.
A framework utility
macro, %CST_CREATETABLESFORDATASTANDARD, builds empty ADAE, ADSL,
and BDS data sets using the reference_tables and reference_columns
metadata.
Submit this code to
create the three data sets:
%cst_setstandardproperties(_cstStandard=CST-FRAMEWORK,
_cstSubType=initialize);
%cst_createtablesfordatastandard(_cstStandard=CDISC-ADAM,
_cstStandardVersion=2.1, _cstOutputLibrary=work);
The successful creation
of the data sets is reported in the SAS log:
NOTE: The data set WORK.ADSL has 0 observations and 63 variables.
NOTE: The data set WORK.BDS has 0 observations and 142 variables.
NOTE: The data set WORK.ADAE has 0 observations and 85 variables.
Specifying additional
data sets or columns in the global standards library folder results
in the %CST_CREATETABLESFORDATASTANDARD macro building a different
set of zero-observation data sets. The global standards library folder
is located here:
global standards library directory/standards/cdisc-adam-2.1-1.7/metadata
A zero-observation template
data set for the analysis_results data set is located here:
global standards library directory/standards/cdisc-adam-2.1-1.7/templates.
