If you don't mind avoiding a loop, here's one way to
solve your problem:

myDF = 
data.frame(id=c(100,101),d1=c(.3,.3),d2=c(.4,.4),d3=c(-.2,.5),d4=c(-.3,.6),d5=c(.5,-.2),d6=c(.6,-.4),d7=c(-.9,-.5),d8=c(-.8,-.6))
doit = 
function(x)c(x[1],sum_positive=sum(x[-1][x[-1]>0]),sum_negative=sum(x[-1][x[-1]<0]))
t(apply(myDF,1,doit))
      id sum_positive sum_negative
[1,] 100          1.8         -2.2
[2,] 101          1.8         -1.7

I have the following datasets:

id  d1  d2   d3   d4   d5   d6   d7   d8
1 100 0.3 0.4 -0.2 -0.3  0.5  0.6 -0.9 -0.8
2 101 0.3 0.4  0.5  0.6 -0.2 -0.4 -0.5 -0.6

what I am trying to accomplish:

loop through the  rows && do the following:
   if the values from the columns of the current row >0 then
sum_positive=total
   if the values from the columns of the current row <0 then
sum_negtive=total

   then discard the columns and create a new table


    id    sum_positive  sum_negtive

1  100      1.8           -2.2
2   101     1.8           -1.7

I tried the following:but didn't make it work, any inputs would be greatly
appreciated.

for (i in 1:nrow(myDF))  {
+    myrow <-myDF[i,]
+   don't know how to move forward?
+ }
