Meta data Creation

Meta data creation in clinical trials comes handy to see what kind of variables are currently in a dataset and its attributes with format name and its decodes.

It should be a straight forward code using the procedures proc contents and proc format with few data steps.

proc contents data=libname.dsname out=contents(keep=memname name type fmtname length label rename=(format=fmtname));
run;

proc format fmlib cntlout=formats(keep=format start label rename=(label=label1));
run;

Merge datasets you have got by fmtname. Include a dummy variable comment to write later on it if you have any specific comments about the same.

data metadata;
merge contents formats;
by fmtname;
comment="";
run;

proc print noobs label;
run;

Perspectives of Life Part1

Am I Bored with life? or am I not living how others would generally lead there life? Is that I am in some sort of attitude problems?Why I will be always in jitters and frenzied every morning?

These are the questions which are taunting me these days... I don't why..But I am sure that I am disturbed and when I sit down and think about the same, I would feel kind of stupid and, no I should n't think about anything in life and we have to accept just what ever we get! Well another paradox is if we(I) had such kind of notion of accepting things as they come then whats the purpose of concept of being motivated to work and accept the challenges in the life..

Well, I would always think why I should restrict myself for the mundane things but rather make some things which would really serve the purpose of my birth in this universe. Then it begs the question what are the real responsibilities and what's the thrilling junk we really impose on ourselves and keep on paying the cost to it.

I really won't understand the dynamics of my neural circuits. When I sit idle and start my self realization I would feel that what I am doing and what I am supposed to do are exactly contradicting. I have always felt from my deep sense of heart that I have to do some thing good as I had a great chance of being an intelligent species in this evolution. I owe some thing to this world and I am not sure what all the things I could do for this world?

Every morning when I woke up with my alarm ringing at 7:15 I would feel man! yet another day!! Why I have to count days for weekend? am I just waiting for just passing times for years?
If so how many years? If thats the case what we achieve being born as an intelligent animal.
Animals do have socializing behavior but not kind of a great reaction for the other animals suffering! If thats the case Vets would not have been in the business and humans in the name of fancy/support would not have raised pets(as its mom doesn't allow its pup to wean from her). Well, I am little off track, but the bottom line is that I am little weird in feeling sense of gratitude of being human and too much concerned about the human suffering( in all forms)?

Why I cant be like most of us who doesn't really care about whats happening in around them and just care what they would save for having a wealthy retirement! I pray for good to give me such kind of will that after I complete this blog I will be like any other selfish human being!!!
