Title: Come Out of Your Shell: A Dynamic Approach to Shell Implementation in Table and Listing Programs
Abstract: In clinical trials, the SAS ® programmer uses the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) provided by the statistician to create Table, Figure and Listing (TFL) programs to support the clinical trial submission. Table and listing shells or mock-ups from the SAP are the SAS programmer’s roadmap in generating clinical study reporting outputs. Statisticians or SAS programmers often spend many hours to create shells manually in a word processing application, and then a SAS programmer must spend additional time mimicking the shell’s text content and formatting in a table or listing SAS program. What if the shell designer’s efforts could be harnessed to reduce the programmer’s efforts? This paper presents a case study of how shell content and rich text formatting can be automatically read in from a shell document to create a SAS PROC REPORT shell as a starting point for a table or listing SAS program.
