codebook_waves_create(waves)

codebook_surveys_create(survey_list)

Arguments

metadata	A metadata table created by metadata_create. Defaults to NULL.
survey	A survey data frame, defaults to NULL. If the survey is given as parameter, the metadata will be set to the metadata of this particular survey by metadata_create.
waves	A list of surveys.
survey_list	A list containing surveys of class survey.

Details

For a list of survey waves, use codebook_waves_create. The returned codebook contains only labelled variables, i.e., numeric and character types are not included, because they do not require coding.
