7 7 | The Baseline File is optional. It should be specified if a baseline table is requested for any groups. The file enables users to customize the baseline table in the report. This file should contain 1 row per group. Table 1 contains detailed specifications for this file. |

13 13 | |GROUP/ANALYSISGRP/MILGRP to output|GROUP|Name of each cohort, analysis or mother-infant linkage group name to include in report. <br> <br> **Note 1:** GROUP must correspond to values of GROUP/ANALYSISGRP/MILGRP included in file distributed input files. <br><br> **Note 2:** GROUP cannot be left blank. <br><br> **Note 3:** if MILGRP is specified, both exposure and reference cohorts are included in table. <br><br> **Format:** SAS character $40; no special characters (e.g., commas, periods, hyphens, spaces, etc.) allowed, and underscores must be used to mark spaces. <br> **Example:** insulin| |
14 14 | |Run identifier|RUNID|RunID assigned to the run that corresponds to the group name listed in GROUP. <br> <br> **Note 1:** RUNID must be equivalent to value specified in the distributed component of the request. <br><br> **Format:** SAS character $3 <br> **Example:** r01| |
15 15 | |Group display order|ORDER|Order to display groups in report. If baseline tables for any groups are requested to appear on the same tab, they should be specified with the same ORDER value and BASELINEGROUPNUM must be specified. <br> <br> **Format:** Numeric <br> **Example:** 1| |
16 - | |Order of Baseline Tables to Appear on Same Tab|BASELINEGROUPNUM| Specifies order of baseline tables to appear on the same tab in report. BASELINEGROUPNUM order is applied to all GROUPs with the same value of ORDER. For example, the specification of GROUP, ORDER, and BASELINEGROUPNUM below would result in the GROUP A baseline table appearing on the Table 1a tab, the GROUP B and GROUP C baseline tables appearing on the Table 1b tab, and the Group D baseline table appearing on Table 1c tab.<br><br><pre>GROUP ORDER BASELINEGROUPNUM <br>A 1 .<br>B 2 1 <br>C 2 2 <br>D 3 . </pre><br>**Note 1:** for any group with a baseline table appearing on its own tab (i.e. one baseline table per tab), leave this field blank. <br><br>**Note 2:** BASELINEGROUPNUM values must be specified consecutively.<br><br> **Note 3:** if requesting two tables on the same tab, all BASELINEFILE parameter values applied to the first group are applied to the second group. <br><br> **Note 4:** BASELEINGROUPNUM functionality is restricted to groups within the same run ID.<br><br> **Note 5:** BASELEINGROUPNUM functionality cannot be used with MILGRPs.<br><br> **Format:** Numeric <br> **Example:** 1 | |
