1. From the SAP aquire the summary table shells plus details and definitions for creating any needed derived variables.

2. Derive the variables you need to perform the efficacy analysis and store them permanently in an analysis dataset named Eff01 for example.

2. Validate the derived variables by having an independent programmer recreate them and use the COMPARE procedure to confirm a match.

3. Input the Eff01 dataset. Process its data so it contains the information requested on the SAP table shell. Output the information to file ensuring the presentation and format are compatable with the SAP table shell.

4. Validate the summary table by having an independent programmer recreate the numbers but not necessarily the SAP report formatted output.
