Hi Pierre,
Submission data may use only SAS native formats with all names =< 8 characters.
Kind Regards,

Hi, Either you are right and the Define-XML 2.0 specifications are wrong or the other way around. If you look at the example in Define-XML 2.0 specifications on page 25, you’ll see a SASFormatName=“$AESEV”, which for me, is obviously not a SAS native format. Moreover, I think if you’re testing OpenCDISC against an XML dataset, then you should allow for SASFormatName longer than 8 characters. I agree that it should be <=8 for XPT datasets though. Thanks Pierre
Hi, I think check OD0019 should be updated to allow SAS format name longer than 8 characters. I got an error in a CodeList Element saying that my SASFormatName attribute was not valid even though it was less than 32 characters and respected the SAS format naming convention. Moreover, nothing in the Define.xml 2.0 specifications states that a SAS format name should be <=8 characters (see page 82 of Define.xml 2.0 specifications). I think this check should be updated accordingly. Thanks Pierre
