Makes an event scale

1 2	make_scale(name, types = NULL, values = NULL, file = NULL, desc = "", default = NA, sep = ",")

`name`	Name of scale
`types`	Array of event codes
`values`	Array of event code values
`file`	Input file defining event codes and their values
`desc`	Optional description of the scale
`default`	What to assign event codes that have no mapping in the scale. Defaults to `NA`.
`sep`	Separator in `file`

Makes an event scale from a specification found in a file or using the types and variables parameters. If a file is specified it is assumed to be headerless and to contain event codes in the first column and numerical values in the second column.

Scales must be assigned a name and may also be assigned a description. If you wish to assign codes without a specified value to some particular value, set default to something other than NA.
