Adding External Dictionaries to Define.xml under Codelist section

Pinnacle 21 Support Define.xml

Hi!

  1. Yes, it looks fine. However use an exact name of external disctionaries and more detailed descriptions. E.g., “MedDRA”, but not “MEDDRA”; and “MedDRA Adverse Events Dictionary”, not “ADVERSE EVENT DICTIONARY”. You need to add the following text into a define.xml file:

<CodeList OID=“AEDICT”

Name=“MedDRA Adverse Events Dictionary”

DataType=“text”>

  1. The only other thing you need to do is to assign your external codelist to a variable in ItemDef element. Something like:

<ItemDef OID=“AEDECOD”

Name=“AEDECOD”

DataType=“text”

Length=“200”

SASFieldName=“AEDECOD”

Origin=“AE”

Comment=“Data from AE”

def:Label=“Dictionary-Derived Term”>

<CodeListRef CodeListOID=“AEDICT”/>

Dear All,

I have question about adding External Dictionaries such as MedDRa under Codelist in Define.xml. I would like to know how should I add the dictionary

1.) under codelist value level metadata file and then add into Define.xml or it can be added directly into Define.xml usingfollowing code:

PUT " ;

PUT " ;

PUT “”

PUT “”

PUT “”

PUT “”

2.) Should External dictionary be added into Codelist section metadata file and then using above mentioned code?

I am new to Define.xml and learning things by myself. All help and responses are appreciated.

Thanks,

Regards

Ankur
