  negative_char = "_")

Arguments

metadata	REDCap metadata
dataset_name	Name of the dataset that will be recorded in place
negative_char	checkbox expansion character for a negative checkbox level

Using the redcap metadata, code is generated that removes coded missing data from repo.

This is useful as missing data is coded in a variety of ways and this has to be reset to missing for accurate data analysis especially in frequency counts, contingency tabling and modelling.
