Function to check if SPSS format statements are specified correctly in a GADSdat object.
Arguments
- GADSdat
GADSdatobject imported viaeatGADS.- type
If
type='other', the functionncharwill be used to determine character lengths and decimals are not rounded to 16 decimal places. Withtype='SPSS'additional width for character variables will be added in order to let SPSS read in lengthy characters correctly and .- changeFormat
If
changeFormat=TRUEtheGADSdatmeta data will be updated otherwise only information will be reported.
Details
The function compares SPSS format statements "format" and actual character length and
decimal places of all variables in a GADSdat object and its
meta data information. Mismatches are reported and can be automatically adjusted.
