Problem Note 37153: SAS® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.2 - CDISC-SDTM validation check results might report incorrect RESULTSEVERITY values

DetailsAboutRate It
SAS® Clinical Standards Toolkit CDISC-SDTM validation check results might report incorrect RESULTSEVERITY values.

You might encounter this problem when running SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit CDISC-SDTM validation under the following conditions:

  1. A check has multiple sources (for example: SDTM0001 has both a WebSDM and a Janus checksource).
  2. The RESULTSEVERITY is different for these multiple check instances.
  3. Multiple check instances for any given check are run.
  4. An error is detected and reported for any check that is not the last check instance.

For example, the SDTM0001 Janus check has a RESULTSEVERITY value of "Note". The SDTM0001 WebSDM check has a RESULTSEVERITY value of "Warning". Any error detected when the Janus instance of SDTM0001 is run will have a reported RESULTSEVERITY of "Warning" instead of "Note". A SAS merge code error incorrectly returns the last RESULTSEVERITY in all such cases. Note that the reporting that an error has been detected is correct.

A workaround is to avoid running duplicate checks, but specifically those with different RESULTSEVERITY values.
