Hi Bessie,

Thank you for reporting this issue!

–PSTRGU is “Pharmaceutical Strength Units” variable recently introduced in SDTM v1.4.

Yes, this variable should not be Required for custom Intervention domains. It’s a bug in OpenCDISC specifications for SDTM IG 3.2.

As a temporary solution you can ignore this false-positive messages or change OC Validator specifications manually by editing a “config-sdtm-3.2.xml” file in “…\opencdisc-validator\config” folder.

Find and replace the following text (row #522)

by

Sorry for inconvenience.

Kind Regards,

Sergiy

Dear All,

I was testing OpenCDISC1.5 today and there is a error message for SD0056 (SDTM required variable not found) that looks strange. It shows variable MLPSTRGU that is not found on the Meal dataset. However, I didn’t find any information about this variable0 MLPSTRG on SDTMIG or online. Please advice.

ML MLPSTRGU [SD0056](http://www.opencdisc.org/#'Rules'!A330) SDTM Required variable not found Metadata Error

Thank you!
