|
infile |
C (200 chars) |
The input DEFINE.XML file used to be
verified. This can be the name of the file or can
include the path and the file name. If left blank, it
will read the file DEFINE.XML in the current directory. |

output |
C (200 chars) |
The output report HTML file name. This
can contain just the file name or the path and file
name. If left blank, this will be defaulted to the

This tool will verify the elements of a DEFINE.XML in
accordance to the standard schema specified by CDISC which is
documented at: Case Report Tabulation Data Definition
Specification (define .xml) - (CRT-DDS
V1.0). It will test for three conditions.
-
Required Elements - Verify that all elements defined in the schema from CDISC standards that are required are contained in the DEFFINE.XML. -
Extra Elements - Verify if there are any extra elements defined in the DEFINE.XML that are not defined in the CDISC schema -
Ordered Elements - The order of the elements must follow the prescribed order according to the guidelines. The macro will then generate a report as specified in
the OUTFILE parameter detailing any findings that if found
documenting the XML element that deviated from the guidelines
including a segment of the XML file and line number within the
file for reference. Example %schemchk; %schemchk (infile=define.xml,
outfile=schemchk.html); %schemchk (infile=c:\temp\define.xml,
outfile=c:\output\schemchk.html); |
