Check if a cohort definition set is using the proper data types

This function checks a data.frame to verify it holds the expected format for a cohortDefinitionSet's data types and can optionally fix data types that do not match the specification.

checkAndFixCohortDefinitionSetDataTypes(
  x,
  fixDataTypes = TRUE,
  emitWarning = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

The cohortDefinitionSet data.frame to check

fixDataTypes

When TRUE, this function will attempt to fix the data types to match the specification. @seealso [createEmptyCohortDefinitionSet()].

emitWarning

When TRUE, this function will emit warning messages when problems are encountered.

Value

Returns a list() of the following form:

list( dataTypesMatch = TRUE/FALSE, x = data.frame() )

dataTypesMatch == TRUE when the supplied data.frame x matches the cohortDefinitionSet specification's data types.

If fixDataTypes == TRUE, x will hold the original data from x with the data types corrected. Otherwise x will hold the original value passed to this function.
