I'm trying to see if I understand how the data was originally stored given how the code extracts it. I know this was Truven data, but unclear if this was csv or xpt or something else... ? 

 

Is there a way to tell? 

 

%let elig_list=ccaet144 ccaet114 ccaet124 ccaet134;

/*Collapse eligibility claims*/ 

	data elig_1; 
		set %do i=1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&elig_list.));
		%let filename = %scan(&elig_list., &i.);
					raw.&filename.
			%end;
		;

The "set" statement in the code would indicate that this is a list of SAS datasets.

I see -- thank you! 

 

I know this was a commercial claims source. Are claims data usually stored as SAS datasets?

I'm guessing that's likely a company-specific convention. Probably a colleague of yours would be a better bet for that kind of information. Sorry.
