DFsas is an intermediary between DFdiscover and SAS®. It can be used to extract summary data files from a study database and to create the corresponding SAS® job file for subsequent processing by SAS®.
Complete reference documentation for DFsas can be found in DFsas: DFdiscover to SAS®.
jobfile | DFsas job file, specifies details of the translation between DFdiscover and SAS® (required). |
-f | force DFsas to include all specified plates, even those that have no data. |
