What do you feel about hardcoding?

Answer Posted / phani

hardcoding is explicitly stating the value of a symbolic
object or variable in a program

hardcoding is a bad proctice bcoz of 2 reasons:
1) it over rides the database controls in the clinical data
management systems and the CFR 21 Part 11 controls may be
compromised.
2) data often change in a trial over time and the hadcode
that is written today may not be valid in the future.
