Returns the internal ID of a survey variable.

Parameters

name

The friendly name of the survey variable.

Return Value

The internal ID of the survey variable.

Remarks

Named survey objects in the DatStat Illume system are given their names when the survey is designed. However, this given or ‘friendly’ name is mapped to a static ‘internal’ identifier or ‘ID’ which the DatStat Illume system uses. This is done to allow the survey designers to change the names of items in the survey without having to worry about re-mapping or moving data that has already been collected under the old names.
