Data Management Tool (interactive-ish)

Description

This creates a list of data management information (defaults to a 'dm_doc' object called 'documentation' in the environment 'dm_envir' which can be retrieved with dm_doc()). This information can then be used to extract and recode (factors and dates) for (or towards) an analytical data base.

Usage

dm(
  var,
  name = var,
  db = NULL,
  recode = NULL,
  transf = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  comment = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  keep.label = TRUE
)

dmv(
  var,
  name = var,
  db = NULL,
  recode = NULL,
  transf = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  comment = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  keep.label = TRUE
)

Arguments

var	character, database/data frame entry
name	character, (new) name of variable, will be 'var' if unspecified
db	character, name of data frame, if NULL, will look for default setting in opts_dm$get('default_db').
recode	recode L argument for recoding
transf	function, for transformation
group	character, a grouping of the variables
comment	character, a comment or some such extra information
label	character, something to be stored as label attribute for this variable
