Incorrect message DD0139

Pinnacle 21 Support Define.xml

Hi Thierry,

Can you explain why you are providing DEFINE-XML as a Standard OID in your define.xml? As you stated, this cannot be referenced in the define.xml. In general, excluding it resolves both DD0138/9. While DEFINE-XML is in the CTSTDTYP Codelist, DEFINE-XML is not a Publishing Set value under Section 4.1.1 of the Define-XML 2.1 Specification for Type = CT.

Kind regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your answer.
I included the Define-XML CT reference because:

  1. It is included in both define.xml examples (SDTM and ADaM) that come with the define 2.1 specification
  2. It allows a quicker understanding of the define CT version used than the def:DefineVersion=“2.1.7” tiny version (“7” means “2024-03-29”)
  3. We reference ORIGINT – Origin Type from QORIG when the SUPP datasets are paired with define 2.1

Kind regards,
– Thierry

Hi Thierry,

Great! Thanks for the background information. I will discuss this with out define team, but for now the rule simply will be explained.

Kind regards,

I also met DD0139 issue and not found good method to fix it. Detail description is “Only Standards that are referenced from a Dataset or Codelist should be included in Define.xml. Define-XML specification represents Standards as def:Standard elements within the def:Standards element.”. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Could you suggest how to resolve it?

Standard part in define.xml:

Two questions back:

  • can you show us the XML itself of def:Standards? That would greatly help …
  • how did you generate your define.xml? Did you use modern software that has a good graphical user interface?

This is another bug that I found, in the same circumstances as DD0138.

I get this message:

DEFINE DD0139: 1 Warning - Standard ‘DEFINE-XML’ is not referenced
| Standard OID, Standard Type, Standard Name = std.ct.define, CT, DEFINE-XML | Standard ‘DEFINE-XML’ is not referenced (Warning)

This is a false positive: the Define-XML CT cannot be referenced inside the define.xml itself, as far as I understand from the specification.
