Abstract
Background/Aims SAS Programmers support their Virtual Data Warehouse (VDW) in many venues. These include collaboration and deliverables for multiple projects both internal and external. Such requests include ad-hoc, feasibility and grants proposal data requests from both internal and external investigators and researchers. Different VDW workgroups and VDW site programmers use different naming conventions and standards; this adds to the confusion and produces an unclean environment. SAS Programmers have to make changes to programs over time as the data requirements continually change and must be maintained and accurate per update. The aim of this paper is to suggest a unified method to ensure a cohesive culture amongst the VDW participants by standardized naming conventions. This paper also focuses on setting guidelines for VDW workgroup members and multi-site study programmers regarding creating documents, complying with standard templates, and ensuring guidelines.
