Impact of Issue Coping Strategy

Data preparers who use the revised Type, "Num" may see validation errors or warnings.

Explain any validation errors or warnings in the Clinical Study Data Reviewers Guide (cSDRG).

Submissions which use the published Type, "Char" and include non-numeric values for ECDOSTOT may result in errors in analysis programs which expect numeric values.

Limit ECDOSTOT values to numeric values.
