"COUNTRY" Terminology Change

| Affected Standard |
SDTMIG v3.1.2
SDTMIG v3.1.2, Amendment 1
SDTMIG v3.1.3
SDTMIG v3.2

| Description of Codelist Change |
The SDTMIG v3.2 and earlier versions list the CDISC SDTM codelist "COUNTRY" as the terminology codelist to use for the Demographics domain variable COUNTRY. This codelist was retired in 2016-09-30 (Package 27) because it duplicated the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions. Maintaining the SDTM "COUNTRY" codelist was not reasonable, since it duplicated content maintained by ISO. |

SDTMIG v3.3 lists 3166-1 alpha-3 as the codelist for the COUNTRY variable |
