The CATALOG-LOOKUP directive provides lookups into catalogs that are pre-loaded (static). Currently, the directive supports looking up health care ICD-9 and ICD-10-{2016,2017} codes.
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|

'catalog' :column |
The 'catalog' argument specifies the dictionary to use for looking up the value in the <column>:column.
These catalogs are currently supported:
ICD-9
ICD-10-2016
ICD-10-2017

...
In cases where the lookup is null or empty for a record, a null value is added to the :column field.
