RE: SD0071: Invalid ARM/ARMCD
I agree with Martin on this. It is also useful to include some remarks on corrective action, e.g., "ARMCD(s) of [A], [B] are in DM, but not found in TA; confirm they are special arm codes assigned to subjects who did not complete the entire planned arm path".
HTH,
Anthony

I'm getting this error because I have records in DM with ARMCD != SCRNFAIL/NOTASSGN and also not in TA.
However the SDTM implementation guide seems to suggest this is permissable in trials with multiple branch points, e.g. see Example 7 p63 / section 7.2.4.2 on p238.
Should this be a WARNING instead?
Cheers
Martin.
