Getting Started

Accessing CDISC Builder
Most of the features of CDISC Builder are accessible through starting the application by clicking on the CDISC Builder icon.  This is available through the Start menu upon the installation of the application.  This starts the interactive tools but you can also access the tool through your SAS program in batch mode via the macros.  The macros include:
 
 %addseq - Add a sequence number for multiple observation per subject.
%cdisc - Verify SAS datasets against CDISC standards.
%comment - Generate comment domain dataset as part of the SDTM of CDISC
%contents - Generate a PROC CONTENTS and PROC PRINT (10 obs)
%difftest - Verify differences among SAS datasets.
%findings - Generate CDISC Findings data set for a specified domain
%findrel - Find variables that are potential related records
%fmtsum - Creates a summary report of all formats used with variables in specified data sets
%metadata - Create and manage metadata database with search.
%matchvar - Match variable names and labels if they are similar.
%ordervar - Modifies the position order of the variables for a specified dataset by key and alphabetical order
%relrec - Generate CDISC Relating Groups of Records in Separate Domain Datasets
%sd2xpt - Creates a SAS transport file from SAS datasets
%suppqual - Generate CDISC Supplemental Qualifiers non standard variables and their association to parent domain
%varlen - Evaluate the variables and recommend lengths based on maximum values.
 
Accessing the features through the macro approach can be executed either in batch mode or through SAS interactively.
