Hi All, The last line if the following code returns the error right below this paragraph. Essentially, I use the operator %:% to retrieve a variable in a nested frame. Then I want to use the same operator (with '<-') to change its value. I'm not sure if this is possible in R with %:% operator. Would you please help and let me how to correct the code if it is possible?
