Systems and methods for automated edit check generation in clinical trial datasets
A system for automated edit check generation is disclosed.

generating, by the computer based system, an edit check based on the template edit check, the parameter set, and the value;
testing, by the computer based system, the edit check;
storing, by the computer based system, the edit check as rules data;
compiling, by the computer based system, the rules data and a trial data to generate a study, wherein the rules data is associated with the trial data; and
determining, by the computer based system, a depth for each parameter of the parameter set, wherein the depth defines the number of elements in an array and the array comprises one of the possible value types for a received parameter or a parsed parameter.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying, by the computer based system, the custom edit check, wherein the identifying is performed prior to writing the template edit check.

blocks = blocks + “end loop”
End loop
genCode = block1 + block2 +
“Loop x=1..Prm.len where type != ′ARRAY′”
