#### Special Missings
|
||||
|
||||
Data Controller supports special missing numerics, ie - a single letter or underscore. These should be submitted _without_ the leading period. The letters are not case sensitive.
|
||||
|
||||
#### BiTemporal Tables
|
||||
|
||||
The Data Controller only permits BiTemporal data uploads at a single point in time - so for convenience, when viewing data in the edit screen, only the most recent records are displayed. To edit earlier records, either use file upload, or apply a filter.

# Formats
|
||||
|
||||
SAS Formats are stored in Catalogs, and are used for in-memory lookup operations. Some formats are available by default, others (custom formats) are maintained seperately.
|
||||
|
||||
Using Data Controller to manage formats means that it will no longer be necessary to maintain 'CNTLIN' datasets seperately to the main catalog.

|
||||
|
||||
Viewing a format catalog will always mean that the entire catalog is exported and displayed.
|
||||
Viewing or editing a format catalog will always mean that the entire catalog is exported, before being filtered (if filters applied) and displayed. For this reason, it is recommended to split a large format catalog over several catalogs, if performance is a consideration.
|
||||
|
||||
Filters will be applied after the export. DDL / excel exports will apply to the export.
|
||||
The usual export mechanisms can also be applied - you can downlad the DDL, or export the catalog in CSV / Excel / Datalines formats.
|
||||
|
||||
The MPE_TABLES for formats will need to be configured with a new LOADTYPE (FMTCATALOG) and specific CLOSE_VARS and BUSKEY values.
|
||||
When adding a format to MPE_TABLES, the `DSN` should contain the format catalog name plus a `-FC` extension. The LOADTYPE should be `FORMAT_CAT` and the BUSKEY should be `FMTNAME START`. HOOK scripts can also be applied (run some DQ after an edit, or re-run a batch job after an approval).
|
||||
|
||||
Edits to formats will follow the regular approval process, with changes logged in MPE_AUDIT.
|
||||
Just like regular table edits, all changes may also be logged in the `MPE_AUDIT` table.
