getLength.RdGet length for PacFIN commercial samples in millimeters.
Lengths are converted for skates from type R and A to actual lengths.
Other, more standard lengths, are filtered for types in keep.
getLength(Pdata, verbose = TRUE, keep)A data frame returned from PullBDS.PacFIN() containing
biological samples. These data are stored in the Pacific Fishieries
Information Network (PacFIN) data warehouse, which originated in 2014 and
are pulled using sql calls.
A logical specifying if output should be written to the
screen or not. Good for testing and exploring your data but can be turned

default is to always print to the screen, i.e., verbose = TRUE.
A vector of values that represent what you want to keep. Values
of NA, "", and numeric values are acceptable. Often, it is helpful to
run `unique(, useNA = "always") on the relevant data prior to running the
function to see what types are present.
A vector of lengths in millimeters. Values of NA indicate that
the length should not be used in down-stream calculations.
