Incorrect data format for 12_month_enrollment Part B CREDHRSU #112

Closed edwelch802 closed 9 months ago

edwelch802 commented 9 months ago

Describe the bug The data type for the 12-month enrollment text file is a real number and not integer and contains commas.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run produce_e1d_report.R script
  2. Upload resulting text file to IPEDS
  3. An error message will be generated

Expected behavior No error messages generated by IPEDS upload process

Screenshots Not available

Technical Setup (please complete the following information):

Additional context The original data value was 62,033.0. Once I deleted the comma and decimal and trailing 0. The file uploaded with no errors.

Discovered that the data pull routine had written the value as 62,033.0, thus it was an error with the data pull and not the R script. I apologize for the confusion.
