px_contvariable: CONTVARIABLE

Description

Inspect or change CONTVARIABLE.

Setting CONTVARIABLE indexes several variables in table2. Removing CONTVARIABLE removes the indexing from table2.

Usage

px_contvariable(x, value, validate)
# S3 method for px
px_contvariable(x, value, validate = TRUE)

Value

A px object or a character string.

Arguments

x

A px object

value

Optional. A character string. If missing, the current CONTVARIABLE is returned. If NULL, CONTVARIABLE is removed.

validate

Optional. If TRUE a number of validation checks are performed on the px object, and an error is thrown if the object is not valid. If FALSE, the checks are skipped, which can be usefull for large px objects where the check can be time consuming. Use px_validate() to manually preform the check.

# Set CONTVARIABLE
