prompt_linker: Build a linker data frame: prompt option.

In dataMeta: Create and Append a Data Dictionary for an R Dataset

Description

prompt_linker this function will prompt the user for a variable description and variable type to construct a data frame that will be an intermediary between the original dataset and the data dictionary. This is a variation of the first function used in this package. For the function to run, the following parameters are needed.

Usage

prompt_linker(my.data)

Arguments

my.data

Data.frame. The dataset for which the user is creating the dictionary for.

Value

If the original dataset supplied as my.data is of class data.frame; the variable description items are in the same order as the orignal dataset's variable names; and the variable_type intgeer vector values are 0 or 1, then a small data frame is produced with variable_names, variable_description, variable_type columns. This dataframe will serve as a linker daata frame to be able to construct the data dictionary.
