Common Parameters

The metadata management macros share a set of common parameters. These parameters are used by all of the metadata management macros:
  • _cstStd: The SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit registered standard name (for example, CDISC-SDTM).
  • _cstStdVer: The SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit registered standard version (for example, 3.1.3).
  • _cstDS: The target data set to act on. This is specified in libname.dataset form, where the LIBNAME has been previously allocated.
The parameter _cstTestMode is used by most of the metadata management macros. _cstTestMode specifies whether a macro is run in test mode. The valid values are Y (default) or N. For more information, see Test Mode.
