Functionality to obtain SAS Label of each variable

[rsgoncalves]

Would it be possible to obtain the SAS Label of each variable, to facilitate analysis/post-processing of study variables?

For example, to have all the following details of each variable:

Variable Name: DRDINT
SAS Label: Number of days of intake
English Text: Indicates whether the sample person has intake data for one or two days.

Most straightforward way would be to modify nhanesTranslate to return those fields.
I'll take a look
Thanks

nhanesCodebook.txt

Please rename the attached file to nhanesCodebook.R
For some reason it doesn't allow attaching '.R' files
In your R session
1: source('nhanesCodebook.R')
2: nhanesCodebook('AUX_D', 'AUQ020D')

Let me know if the result of the last command is what you're looking for. It's a list since there's a mixture of data types.
Please test it out as much you can and let me know if there's any unexpected behavior.
Thanks!

Thank you for the prompt response and resolution! The nhanesCodebook.R (and nhanesCodebook function) are exactly what is desired. After some basic tests things look good to me. Thanks!
