Compare column data

Synopsis
checkcoldata(checksubtables)

Description
This function compares the data of all columns not excluded by the select() function. Tolerances on a per column and/or per column type basis basis can be specified by running setprecision() before running this function. This function will check both regular and variable array column data, in the latter case doing a record by record test for equality. It assumes that unset values are equal. If all column data match (to within the specified precisions, if any) between the two tables, the function returns T, if not, it returns F.

Arguments

checksubtables		Check column names of subtables as well?
		Allowed:	Boolean
		Default:	T

Returns
T if the tests pass, F otherwise
