The stringFormat
element specifies how to display a string. By
default, a string is displayed verbatim, but relabel
can change
it.
The relabel
element appears as a child of stringFormat
(and of format
, when it is used to format strings). It
specifies how to display a given value. It is used to implement value
labels and to display the system-missing value in a human-readable
way. It has the following attributes:
The value to map. In the corpus this is an integer or the
system-missing value -1.797693134862316E300
.
The string to display in place of the value of from
. In the
corpus this is a wide variety of value labels; the system-missing
value is mapped to ‘.’.
