Hello, I'm looking for help on writing valid SAS XPORT files that should be validated by Pinnacle21 validator, and will be send to FDA, this SAS XPORT version 5 (SDTM 1.5). This is for clinical studies data export. So far so good, I managed to get a file I think correct, but the validator still complains on "Non-unique value for TAETORD within ARMCD". I attach the ta.xpt file. I think I correctly understood how to format the numeric fields to IBM mainframe format. So, my actual values for TAETORD are 1, 2, 3... I have a comparative SAS XPORT 9.1 file provided with the Pinnacle21 validator but don't understand why some TAETORD records seem to have identical values, as far as I can see with my text ediitor. I attach both files. I'm a Windows user, program in C#, my company has no SAS software and will not afford a license. May you also advice me a text editor that is user-friendly at displaying the ascii code characters I encounter in xpt file? Thank you very much for your help. I apologize if it's not the right community to ask to, please direct me. Barbara
