Answer / pnprasad

Now a days FDA / EDQM / ICH etc are mainly focosing on
Validation & Audit on clinical data. Along with validation
& Audits, one of the most important feature is required i.e
transfering of the data from the clinical centers to the
reserch centers. In this juncture, SAS has all the features
like Auditing, Statistical Analysis, Validation,
transfering of the data sets (tables) as a flat files
(which can view with out any specific software) and more
over it is friendly software i.e 80% GUI (does't require
any programing knowlede) 20% NON-GUI (require programing
knowledge) so it is very easy to learn anybody without any
hasels

Answer / nanda kishore

Other software products such as Oracle, SQl take the data in
bulk and if their is no error in it they take very less time
to execute it. But if their is an error in it then it
doesn't show us the location for it and if we have 'n'
no.of records we have to check each and every one of them
but where as SAS takes each observation at a time and also
points out the location. It takes time but is accurate.
Accuracy is needed in clinical's but not the speed. And we
get accurate results.
