Sequence
Purpose
Specifies a numbering sequence. Sequences allow sponsors to indicate how numbers are assigned to screened subjects, enrolled subjects, queries, and other types of numbered data. Each sequence is associated with a sequence type, defined with the SequenceType element.
Syntax
<SEQUENCE
