REDCapRITS also works with the data export script (a.k.a., *syntax file*) supplied by REDCap. Here is an example of its usage:
```r
# You must set the working directory first since the REDCap data export script
# contains relative file references.
setwd("/path/to/data/")
# Run the data export script supplied by REDCap.
# This will create a data.frame of your records called 'data'
source("ExampleProject_R_2018-06-03_1700.r")
# Get the metadata
metadata <- read.csv("ExampleProject_DataDictionary_2018-06-03.csv")
# Split the tables
REDCapRITS::REDCap_split(data, metadata)
```
### SAS

1. Run the macro call `%REDCAP_SPLIT()`. You will have an output dataset for
your main table as well as for each repeating instrument.
#### Examples
Please follow the instructions from REDCap on importing the data into SAS. REDCap provides the data in a *csv* format as well as *bat* and *sas* files. The instructions are available when exporting the data from the REDCap web interface. If you do not use the pathway mapper (*bat* file) provided, you will need to go into the *sas* file provided by REDCap and alter the file path in the `infile` statment (Line 2).
```sas
* Run the program to import the data file into a SAS dataset;
%INCLUDE "c:\path\to\data\ExampleProject_SAS_2018-06-04_0950.sas";
* Run the MACRO definitions from this repo;
%INCLUDE "c:\path\to\macro\REDCap_split.sas";
* Read in the data dictionary;
%REDCAP_READ_DATA_DICT(c:\path\to\data\ExampleProject_DataDictionary_2018-06-04.csv);
* Split the tables;
%REDCAP_SPLIT();
```
