\usage{
status(n, ini = NA)

\description{
Create empty status vector
}
\details{
Every function in \code{\link[=deducorrect-package]{deducorrect}} returns the status of every row after treatment.
The status vector is an \code{ordered} factor with levels

\tabular{ll}{
 \code{invalid}      \tab record is invalid but could not be corrected\cr
 \code{partial}    \tab record violates less edits then before entering the function\cr
 \code{corrected}    \tab record satisfies all edit restrictions after correction\cr
 \code{valid}        \tab record violates no edit restrictions\cr
}
where \code{invalid < partial < corrected < valid}



This function is \code{deducorrect} internal.
}
\examples{

# create statusvector

status <- deducorrect:::status(5)
status[1:5] <- c("invalid",NA,"corrected","valid","partial")

# 
which(status < "valid")
}
