Elliot,
I think Nick's point is valid. The way that dosing histories and regimens are
coded within the dataset and given the flexibility that that allows, coming
up with a "catch-all" SAS macro to accommodate all possible data structures
would take some effort. Using macro variables and switches it would certainly
be possible to come up with a simple SAS macro to cope with simple cases. I
suspect that there are many people within pharma-companies using SAS to prepare
NONMEM datasets, but where these are either bespoke pieces of code for the
given situation or perhaps they are considered intellectual property and not
available for dissemination.
Regards,
Mike
