The following computer files are available from MCHP. Note that results may occasionally
display truncated labels, depending on the procedure. It is important to ensure,
within the SAS program, that the file name is correctly specified to permit SAS to
read the file.
| File Name | Size |
Format Name | Description |
| fivet93m.raw | 460,000 |
not applicable |
data set containing values for 5,000 observations and
33 variables. |
| dx93xfmt.sas | 34,039 | $DIAGXL |
value labels for 3-digit ICD-9-CM diagnoses (1980).
|
| op93fmt.sas | 29,371 | $OPL |
value labels for 4-digit ICD-9-CM procedures (1980). |
| cmg93fmt.sas | 23,285 |
$CMGL |
value labels for CMGs (Case Mix Groups) (1991). |
| drg93fmt.sas | 21,058 | $DRGL |
value labels for DRGs (Diagnosis Related Groups)(5th revision). |
| fmts95.sas | 3,132 | assorted |
value labels for other variables in the data set. |
| lbls93.sas | 2,270 | not applicable |
variable labels |
The following is an example of how to use some of the above files in a SAS program;
it assumes that the temporary SAS data set "test" has already been created from
the raw Manitoba Health data:
%include 'a:\dx93xfmt.sas';
%include 'a:\op93fmt.sas';
%include 'a:\cmg93fmt.sas';
%include 'a:\drg93fmt.sas';
/* add a new variable to the test data set */
data test;
set test;
/* keep only the first 3 digits in the new diag3c variable */
/* from the 5-digit variable diag01 */
diag3c=substr(diag01,1,3);
run;
proc freq data=test;
/* obtain frequencies of 4 variables */
tables diag3c op01 drg cmg;
/* display the values in formatted form*/
format diag3c $diagxl. op01 $opl.
cmg $cmgl. drg $drgl.;
run;
