Hello,
I had a similar problem and I found two solutions
1) Don't use the $ op on atomic vectors;-). Instead try:
dataf2sp<-dataf2[dataf2["abbrev"]==abbrev,]
2) Make the vector a list. I don't know if there are side-Effects to
this, but perhaps it's just the anxiety of a Java-Programmer who isn't
used to the somewhat easy-going way R deals with classes:
class(dataf2) <- "list"

Moritz
