PCTPTREF

Time Point Reference

Char

Timing

Name of the fixed reference point referred to by PCELTM, if used for PCTPTNUM, and PCTPT. It is recommended that PCTPTREF be as descriptive as possible so the reference time point can be inferred without looking at other variables. Example: "Day 1, Dose 1".
