InputEngineMacros

InputEngineMacros.sas defines the following macros for input engine processes:

%DesignParse

This macro imports the experimental design table (required for certain IEs) to extract the experimental information and the file name of each raw data file.

%DATParse

This macro imports the files with a data platform of Agilent ( .txt ), GenePix ( .gpr ), QuantArray ( .txt ), and Scanalyze ( .dat ) and combines them with the information from the experimental design table into a stacked SAS data set.

%CDFParse

This macro imports Affymetrix CDF file (text version) into a SAS data set, which is used to decode Affymetrix .cel and .chp files.

%CELParse

This macro imports Affymetrix .cel files ( probe data stored in text or binary versions), which are based on the corresponding CDF file and combines them with the information from the experimental design table into a stacked SAS data set.

%CHPParse

This macro imports Affymetrix .chp files (signal summarized data), which are based on the corresponding CDF file and combines them with the information from the experimental design table into a stacked SAS data set.

%TableParse

This macro imports raw data files stored in text (tab delimited or comma separated), Excel, or SAS data set formats and combines them with the information from the experimental design table into a stacked SAS data set.

%Skip_Header_Import

This macro is used for Agilent ( .txt ) and GenePix ( .gpr ) IEs.

%Skip_Header_Import_2

This macro is used for the Import Individual Text, CSV, or Excel Files process, and the ScanAlyze IEs.

%CheckInputs

This macro checks certain required input parameters for the IEs that require an experiment design file.

%BeforeDataParse

This macro invokes DesignParse.

%AfterDataParse

This macro checks the final combined data set.

%Packaging

This macro wraps up package macros.
