Adding External Dictionaries to Define.xml under Codelist section

  Hi! 1.     Yes, it looks

Hi!

1.     Yes, it looks fine. However use an exact name of external disctionaries and more detailed descriptions. E.g., "MedDRA", but not "MEDDRA"; and "MedDRA Adverse Events Dictionary", not "ADVERSE EVENT DICTIONARY". You need to add the following text into a define.xml file:

<CodeList OID="AEDICT"

Name="MedDRA Adverse Events Dictionary" 

DataType="text"> 

            <ExternalCodeList Dictionary="MedDRA" Version="10.0"/>

</CodeList> 

2.     The only other thing you need to do is to assign your external codelist to a variable in ItemDef element. Something like:

<ItemDef OID="AEDECOD"

Name="AEDECOD"

DataType="text"

Length="200"

SASFieldName="AEDECOD"

Origin="AE"

Comment="Data from AE"

def:Label="Dictionary-Derived Term">

<CodeListRef CodeListOID="AEDICT"/>

</ItemDef>
