Throws an error message if a location id is not part of the location ids in the UNDP database, and a confirmation message showing the location name if the location id is valid.
check_locid(locid)Location id
The message: "locid is not a valid location id. Please run View(get_locations()) to get a list of plausible location ids. They are listed in the PK_LocID variable" in the case
where the user has inserted an invalid location id, and in cases where the location id is valid, the following message is returned: "locid is a valid location id. The location name is location name"
Run check_locid(insert locid here) to check whether a location id is valid (part of the locations in the UNPD website). Running check_locid(insert locid here) with a valid id returns a message confirming that the location id is valid and also gives the location name of that particular id. Running the same code with an invalid id returns a message directing the user to run View(get_locations()) in order to get a list of plausible location ids.
You can run getAnywhere(check_locid) to see how the function is defined.
if (FALSE) {
check_locid(12345) ## invalid location id
