define-package: Create FDA-style dataset and program definitions.

In define: Create FDA-Style Data and Program Definitions

Description

define helps you create 'define.pdf' and associated file tree for FDA-style submission of analysis datasets, etc. It converts csv files to SAS Transport V. 5 'xpt' format, using metadata encoded in a specification file. It enforces the 'txt' extension for other (presumably ASCII) files.

Details

The only function you're likely to need from define is define. You may want to learn more about metadata encoding from encode and more about specification files from spec.
