%npcttab and %unistats as "standard macros"
If you use these macros, then you might think they are limited to the
layout of the reports they give and the p-values they can calculate.
But that is not the case. The macros are designed to be completely
flexible and are intended for use by any and all pharmaceutical
companies and CROs. Neither of these macros are tied to a report layout
style. %unistats does not produce a report by default and the report
capability of %npcttab can be disabled using print=no and they will
give you output datasets that you are free to present in any style you
wish. If you require p-values these macros can not currently give then
you can calculate them yourself in your code and merge these p-values
in with the output datasets and then produce a report in any required
layout style. Bearing in mind that these two macros will run on any
platform and are free to anybody to download and use, then perhaps they
are the first macros ever released with a claim to being called
"standard macros" for safety reporting across the pharmaceutical
industry.
