1. RCR generator: A new STEPS/DQRS relationship

2. Identified a time consuming redundancy
Example RCR
857 Monthly:
328 Companies in the survey.
August had 228 RCR’s (~70%).
RCRs pre-August were created by hand, Question box included a manually entered list of errors identified by STEPs.
STEPs provides basic error language

3. General Idea
Use the language already generated in STEPs to create RCRs for all companies with errors
Append the DQRS RCR database with new entries through SAS
Steps company screen: Steps Error:

4. Lucky me… 857_EditRejects table already existed
A series of concatenations, table joins, duplicate removals, and more…

5. Where to go from here… Short Term goals Long Term goals
Improve Steps Error language
Formatting
Spacing
Alphabetical/numerical organization
Long Term goals
Other Surveys (Annual-176 & 191 Storage)
Validation RCR creation
Create a table that self updates with HDD information, market share, reported values, state aggregate changes and then transpose those values into a formatted text string.
Validation RCR
