Hi ,

I have created my file SDTM Terminolgy.txt to run the custom opencdisc\_validator1.5

When I create my file with SAS i have some Skip value and i don’t understand (may be because of double quote or simple quote in value ).

the structure of my file is

code/ codelist code/ codelist Extensible (yes/no)/ codelist name/ CDISC Submission Value/ CDISC Synonym/ CDISC Definition/ NCI Preffered Term

the file must to respect this structure ? could you put value not filled for CDISC Synonym or CDISC Definition or NCI Preffered Term.

Do you have specifics characters value not expected in the file ? like for exemple ; " ’

Regards
