Hi,

I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but we have recently published a new page for browsing all of the rules: SDTM Validation Rules | Pinnacle 21

Regards,

Thanks Brad, I will bookmark the link for future reference.

However, what i am most interested in is the exact syntax of the validation rules. For example in the ‘OpenCDISC Validation Framework’ page in the downloads section it gives details such as:

<val:Condition ID=“id” Test=“test expression” When=“when expression”
Message=“message”
Description=“description”
Type=“type” Severity=“severity” Warn=“warn”/>

I would like to know what the syntax is for “test expression” and “when expression” and all expressions for all other attributes for each rule type. I have been trying to work them all out by examining the SDTM_3_1_3_FDA.XML file (part of the Pinnacle21 software download). By knowing the complete syntax of the rules, I hope to be able to adapt existing ones and hopefully write some of my own.

Many thanks again.

Paul

Does anyone know where I can find a complete enumeration of the validation rule types and syntax?
I have read the ‘OpenCDISC Validation Framework’ article on this site but was hoping to get hold of more comprehensive documentation of the values the various attributes can take

Many thanks.
