In SAS^® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.7, the OpenCDISC validation checks have been removed. Customers should use the OpenCDISC Validator to do these checks. Note, the SAS documentation is not clear that these validation checks where removed without looking at the SAS^® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.6: User's Guide and comparing it to the SAS^® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.7: User's Guide.

The SAS^® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.6: User's Guide references: "The SAS interpretation of the OpenCDISC CDISC SDTM validation rules ( http://www.opencdisc.org)". SAS^® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.7: User's Guide does not have this reference. Also, the number of validation checks is smaller in the SAS^® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.7: User's Guide.
