Hello All, Thanks in advance for all help. In my prog, I have a global list object that is used as a container for storing some data frames. Here is an example code. --SNIP-- temp1 <- function(X){ statName = c("Mean", "stdDev", "NumSamples") statVal = c("0.5", "0.51", "5")
r = data.frame(statName=statName, statVal = statVal) X[["temp1"]] = r } reportList = list() temp1(reportList) print(reportList) --SNIP-- I was expecting that the new data frame in temp1 would get added to the list (reportList), but it doesn't, probably because, arguments to functions are passed "Call-by-value" and loose all locally made changes. Any ideas how I can do this.
