Overview
An electronic submission is submitted with SAS datasets in transport format.  Not only is submitting the dataset in transport format useful but the accompanying SAS program used to convert the transport file back to SAS datasets is also useful.  SD2XPT is a tool which is used to convert your SAS datasets into transport format and it also produces SAS code for converting the data back.

SD2XPT Options
The SD2XPT screen allows you to select the source data and related options which is used in creating the transport data.  The data flow for this tool is shown here.

Source Data

CDISC Builder SD2XPT

Transport Datasets

The options available for selecting data and options for SD2XPT are:

• Source Data - This is the location of the dataset that is going to be used to generating the transport data.
• Datasets - Source datasets that are used to for SD2XPT.
• Preview - A preview of the first 100 observations of the data that is selected.
• CDISC - Selection of datasets that fits the CDISC naming conventions.
• Output Path - Path location to where the transport file will be created.
• Output File - The name of the transport file being created.  If a * is selected, a series of transport files will be created, one for each selected source data.  The difference being that the file extension is different and it is in transport format.
• Base Code - Path and file name containing the SAS program used to generate the transport data.
• Save Code - The location of the program that contains the macro call with all the selected parameters used to create the transport data.

The SD2XPT can be used to generate transport files from multiple sources.
