For completed studies, DDI-C compliant files are used to generate codebooks which include unweighted frequencies. For data in production, DDI-C is used to bulk load questions and variable attributes into a browser-based variable editor. This presentation will describe in moderate detail how SAS is used to generate the major DDI-C XML elements.en-USDDINADDIMetadataData documentationSASPresentationopenAccess
