Return the data-dictionary prompt for a survey variable.

Parameters

variableName

The friendly name of a survey variable.

Return Value

The prompt of the given survey variable.

Remarks

Most items in a survey prompt the user for some kind of response. For example, given the question “How many children do you have?”, the prompt is “How many children do you have?”. This may be different than the description that is given to a survey item when the survey is designed. If the requested variable does not have a prompt, an empty string is returned.
