I am trying again. I do not have SPSS and I would like to create a code book in
a data frame format using R. I am reading the SPSS file using "memisc package".
The script is:
#Data for 2012 available at http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/datasets/
#Also attached
ibrary(memisc)
## change the working directory
getwd()
setwd('')
data <- spss.portable.file("NILT12w2.por")
Get names
names(data)
#Get Variable Lebels
des <- as.data.frame(description(data))
#Descriptive Statistics & Code Book
#Results are very long for printing
codebook(data)
#How could I extract a codebook (without Summary statistics for printing)?
The code book will have label value of label and description of labeld
For example, for gender
Variable Code Description
Gender 1=Male Gender of respondent
2=Female
Status 1=Married Marital status
2=Widow
3=Others

This isn't that clear because I don't think 'codebook' is something
well-defined. Describe the rows and columns of the data frame you want
to create.
