Description

Usage

Arguments

v	A variable (vector) to check. This variable is allowed to have any class.
...	Not in use.

Value

A checkResult with three entires: $problem (a logical indicating whether the variable consists of CPR numbers), $message (if a problem was found, the following message: "Warning: The variable seems to consist of Danish civil registration (CPR) numbers.", otherwise "") and $problemValues (always NULL).
