Ok Jim it worked, thank you! it´s funny because it worked with the first
syntax in some cases...

If R knows the whole thing is incomplete, it will accept an else on its own line. If the first 4 lines make a complete statement, R will evaluate it, and not accept the following else.

So putting braces around the whole thing is another workaround, but putting the else on the same line as the first closing brace is probably better.

Hello, I am getting an error with the following code:
if( P2 > P1)
+ {
+ P<-P2

else
Erro: unexpected 'else' in "else"
{
+ P<-P1
+ }

I checked the syntax so I don´t understand, I have other if else
statements with the same syntax working. Thanks in advance
