Standard Folder Structures

Introduction

SASDATA

DBVER option in %setenv will correspond to a subfolder under \SASDATA in the shared project folder space. The standard naming convention for database versions is:

dbver_version-name

where version_name can be any descriptive unique name given to the version. Usually it will reflect the transfer date, such as:

dbver_20171207

Under each DBVER folder, are the following standard names to choose from:

  • raw
  • sdtm
  • adam
  • external

When using GDoc specification spreadsheets, these should go into a subfolder under the proper data library in a folder named specs. For example:

SADATA\dbver_20171207\sdtm\specs
