Hello kamalakar ,

Depends on what you are Implementing . I mean if you guys are Implementing
CDISC standards then all your analysis datasets should AD+Two domain name of
the dataset . Say for example if it is a analysis dataset for Adverse event
then it would be ADAE same for Demographic ADDM  . And there would be a
dataset called ADSL ( Analysis dataset at Subject level ) which has all the
basic Information that is every Important


Comming to Non CDISC compalint study I do not have much Idea about the
naming them as I did not see ( Or remember ) a consistent pattern of namming
them . One this is commmon that is Header that would have all the common
variables and other datasets would have variables that are derived like age
, diffences , Flags , values .

Look out for labels and some fields that are not obiviously not collected at
site. Not sure how to say this may some body else has better way of putting
ot

Hope this helps you

thanks
SL
