Know Your Sources – Decoding Inputs / Outputs of any SAS Program

[#1]

SDD One of the biggest challenges in SAS Programming is that there is no standard way to generate Traceability Matrix for SAS programs with their inputs and outputs. As time progresses programs are updated and there is no way to do impact analysis for these updates on existing programs. This paper talks about how to generate Traceability Matrix for any SAS program along with their inputs / outputs and their version numbers in SAS Drug Development Environment (SDD). It decodes the JobLog XML files (.jlgxml) and generates report which can help to carry out impact analysis for any updates to existing source code.
