Providing Formats / display information in "Controlled Terms or Format" column

Hi!

I do not know an answer and think that it’s a limitation of the current define.xml standard. Today you cannot specify SAS Date/Time formats in define.xml file.

The CDISC team is working on new (#2) version of define.xml standard. Wait for it.

Hello Sergiy.

Thank you for your response; i thought as much but just wanted to confirm my understanding.

Do you know of any timelines on the define V2? At one point i heard Spring’2012 is that still what the CDISC team is aiming for?

Thanks,

Hi!

During the recent PharmaSUG conference I spoke with Lex Janssen and he pointed to the DisplayFormat attribute of the ItemDef element.

See define.xml standard document for details and examples on pages 12, 16, 23, 24

Use something like:

<ItemDef OID=“TRTSDT”

def:DisplayFormat=“YYMMDD10.”>

Define.xml v2 standard is planned to be published for public review in June.

Hello.

I am creating the define.xml file for ADaM and am wondering how to print display information in the “Controlled Terms or Format” column. Eg. TRTSDT uses YYMMDD10. SAS format.

Thanks,
