Importing ODM XML file via PROC CDISC

[tbittl]

Hello,

I try to import an ODM XML file via PROC CDISC into SAS datasets.

The following script was used in the past but now it occur a syntax error.

Till now I spend a lot of time to solve the error but I did not found anything.

Here is the error message (regarding SASDATASETNAME....):

6	ODMMINIMUMKEYSET=NO	USENAMEASLABEL=YES;
6   ! CLINICALDATA OUT=OUT.&DSET	SASDATASETNAME="&DSET"
	-
	22
	76
6   ! SITEREF=YES	INVESTIGATORREF=YES;	RUN;

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: COMMENT, DOMAIN, DOMAINCODE,

NAME, ORIGIN, PURPOSE, SASDATASETNAME.

ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

I hope anybody in this community could help me.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Tanja

The following script I used:

/* Program Description:    Program to create a SAS dataset for every itemgroup within a XML ODM file */

/***** SAS Site number ********/

%put sitenumber: &SYSSITE;

/***** PROC CDISC VERSION *****/

proc cdisc version; run;

/************* ODM IMPORT **********************/

/* create filenames/libnames for XML ODM studydefs */

FILENAME XMLIMP 'Y:\...\dataexport_56881_2015-04-13_10-24-40.xml';

LIBNAME XMLIMP xml xmltype=CDISCODM FormatActive=No FormatNoReplace=No;

LIBNAME OUT 'Y:\...\SAS_data';

LIBNAME FLIB 'Y:\...\SAS_data';

%global DSETS;

/* MACRO for reading in ALL ItemGroups from ODM file in one step */

%MACRO ALLSETS (LIB, FLIB);

PROC SQL noprint;

SELECT UNIQUE MEMNAME INTO :DSETS SEPARATED BY '|'  

  FROM DICTIONARY.TABLES

  WHERE UPCASE(LIBNAME)="&LIB";

    %PUT DATASETS: &DSETS;

QUIT;

%LET NUM=1;

%LET DSET=%SCAN(%QUOTE(&DSETS),&NUM,|);

   %DO %UNTIL (%QUOTE(&DSET)=%STR());

      PROC CDISC MODEL=ODM

                 READ=XMLIMP

                FORMATACTIVE=YES

                FORMATNOREPLACE=NO                

                LANGUAGE="EN";

           ODM           ODMVERSION="1.2"

                             ODMMAXIMUMOIDLENGTH=20

                             ODMMINIMUMKEYSET=NO

                             USENAMEASLABEL=YES;

          CLINICALDATA OUT=OUT.&DSET

                  SASDATASETNAME="&DSET"

                  SITEREF=YES                     

                  INVESTIGATORREF=YES;          

        RUN;

        %LET NUM=%EVAL(&NUM+1);

        %LET DSET=%SCAN(%QUOTE(&DSETS),&NUM,|);

    %END;   

%MEND ALLSETS;

%ALLSETS (XMLIMP, FLIB);

Hi,

Whilst I don't use that toolkit, I could it be that you have a semi colon in the wrong place:

           ODM           ODMVERSION="1.2"

                             ODMMAXIMUMOIDLENGTH=20

                             ODMMINIMUMKEYSET=NO

                             USENAMEASLABEL=YES;               /* Here, is this semicolon valid? */

          CLINICALDATA OUT=OUT.&DSET

                  SASDATASETNAME="&DSET"

                  SITEREF=YES                    

If the above is ok, what does &DSET resolve to, do you have missing, or special characters?  options mlogic symbolgen mprint; then check that.  Also, I would as best practice, always put a full stop after the macro variable to ensure the compiler does not guess where the macro variable ends.
