The GenBounds Software for Generating a Complete Set of Ratio Edits: %Implied User’s Guide

Roger Goodwin, Maria Garcia, and Katherine Thompson

KEY WORDS: explicit edits, implicit edits, shortest path

ABSTRACT

We present documentation for running the GenBounds software, new SAS programs for generating the implicit edits from a given set of explicit ratio edits. We have developed two separate programs: one written in SAS/IML and one written in SAS/OR. The first program is designed for production processing and the second is designed for edit development. Both programs are submitted using the same macro driver routine, %Implied, and are available from ESMPD and SRD
