Combine Studies

This report creates a new study by combining two existing studies.

Running this report preserves all original data from studies to be combined, and creates new input data sets by appending rows from each corresponding parent data set. The USUBJID values of the new input data sets contain both the parent study name and USUBJID value. The new input data sets are then used to add the combined study to JMP Clinical.
