Get Control Term — get_control

Returns the control term (a vector for permitted values and a tibble for code lists) for a given variable. The dataset can be optionally specified if there is different control terminology for different datasets

get_control_term(metacode, variable, dataset = NULL)

Arguments

metacode: metacore object
variable: A variable name to get the controlled terms for. This can either be a string or just the name of the variable
dataset: A dataset name. This is not required if there is only one set of control terminology across all datasets

Value

a vector for permitted values and a 2-column tibble for codelists

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
meta_ex <- spec_to_metacore(metacore_example("p21_mock.xlsx"))
get_control_term(meta_ex, QVAL, SUPPAE)
get_control_term(meta_ex, "QVAL", "SUPPAE")
} # }
