This function returns institution codes in a string format that is properly formatted for import to Interact and consistent with typical ACT data practices. Relevant arguments depend on the component. All function parameters are logical, and all defaults are FALSE, meaning that to create an institution code, users need only set the categories that apply to TRUE. Arguments that do not apply to the given component will be ignored. See Heise's 2014 PDF manual for Interact or Heise's 2007 book Expressive Order for more details on these categories.
