What is the consequence of not using coded value domains in a mapping process?

Not using coded value domains in a mapping process increases the likelihood of generating warnings during analysis. Coded value domains help ensure data integrity by restricting input values to a predefined set of codes. When these domains are utilized, they reduce errors and inconsistencies within the dataset by ensuring that only acceptable values can be entered.

If coded value domains are not applied, it can lead to a variety of unintended consequences, such as the entry of invalid or inconsistent data. This unregulated data input increases the possibility of generating warnings or errors during data analysis, as the analytical tools may detect anomalies or unsupported values within the dataset. Thus, maintaining data quality through coded value domains is critical for minimizing warnings and ensuring accurate analysis results.
