xportr 0.3.0
CRAN release: 2023-06-21
New Features and Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where
xportr_type()would overwrite column labels, widths, and “sas.formats” - Fixed messaging of
xportr_order()to give better visibility of the number of variables being reordered. - Add new argument to
xportr_write()to allow users to specify how xpt validation checks are handled. - Fixed bug where character_types were case sensitive. They are now case insensitive (#77).
- Updated
xportr_type()to make type coercion more explicit. -
xpt_validateupdated to accept iso8601 date formats. (#76) - Added function
xportr_metadata()to explicitly set metadata at the start of a pipeline (#44) - Metadata order columns are now coerced to numeric by default in
xportr_order()to prevent character sorting (#149) - Message is shown on
xportr_*functions when the metadata being used has multiple variables with the same name in the same domain (#128) - Fixed an issue with
xport_type()whereDT,DTMvariables with a format specified in the metadata (e.g. date9., datetime20.) were being converted to numeric, which will cause a 10 year difference when reading it back byread_xpt(). SAS’s uniform start date is 1960 whereas Linux’s uniform start date is 1970 (#142). - Fixed an issue with R’s pipe
|>that was causing functions to abort (#97) - Removed
<and>as illegal characters in variable and dataset labels (#98)
