No difference between "polynominal" and "text" data type?

Hi,

 

I checked the manual and this forum but I cannot find the answer.

 

Is there possibly no difference between the "text" and "polynominal" data types in RM?

 

I am asking, because I worked with quite an large data set and RM seems to save text variables the same way it does with polynominals: as categorical variables (or factors).

The metadata file gets really huge and this slows down RM a lot when loading and handling data.

 

Could this be true?

 

Best

Karl
