Dear Pikal and Robert,
thanks for the help, I guess trying the if function is worth it, and indeed, it
works for the example I provided. Unfortunatelly though I am not getting the
expected results with my actual code, which is a lot more complicated using
R2OpenBUGS. Let me give you the actual example:
using my model and input parameters I am generating res with a bugs function:
res <-bugs(list(....)
and also have:
k <-5+2
I have tryed your code as follows:
if (e > 0) { res <-bugs(list(....); k <-5+2 }
my goal is that if e = 0, then not to prompt a call of the model in OpenBUGS,
which is what is happening currently with the way it is written here. Any
thoughts on how to completiley "ignorre" a that line or chunk?
thanks,
Andras

I second Petr on the question, why not use if? But this might meet your
criteria.
a <- 5
b <- 2
e <- 0
#
dat <- data.frame(a, b, e)
dat$d[dat$e > 0] <- a + b
dat$f <- a - b
