Does this help?

a = c(one=1,two=2,three=3)
str(a)
 Named num [1:3] 1 2 3
 - attr(*, "names")= chr [1:3] "one" "two" "three"
names(a) = NULL
str(a)
 num [1:3] 1 2 3

For a matrix called mat, you'd need to use

dimnames(mat) = NULL

to remove the dimnames.

But remember that, other than when you're displaying the
object, the names or dimnames should not affect anything
you do with the object, and they do allow you to index
elements by name instead of number.

Dear Jim
I think the target is to get from a Named chr to a just chr
str(mat)
Named chr [1:32268] "yQAAA" "jQAAQ" "UQAAg" "FQAAw" "1QABA" ...
 - attr(*, "names")= chr [1:32268] "CAAAAAAAAA" "CAAAAAAAAC"
"CAAAAAAAAG" "CAAAAAAAAT" ...

I have presumably the same problem
str(DC1a)
num [1:18, 1:48, 1:35] 3124.4 3049.2 227.8 41.4 76 ...
- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 3
 ..$ Figure  : Named chr [1:18]  "CDS1" ...
 .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:18] "1"
 ..$ Code    : Named chr [1:48] "AGR"
.. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:48] "1" "36" "71" "106" ...
 ..$ variable: Named chr [1:35] "X30.09.2009" "
.. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:35] "1" "2" "3" "4" ...
DC1_SM<-abind(DC1a, DC1_PLCF_SM1, along=1, new.names=)
str(DC1_SM)
num [1:24, 1:48, 1:35] 3124.4 3049.2 227.8 41.4 76 ...
- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 3
 ..$ : chr [1:24]  "CDS1" ...
 ..$ : chr [1:48] "AGR"
 ..$ : chr [1:35] "X30.09.2009" "

names(dimnames(DC1_PLCF_SM1))<-names(dimnames(DC1a))

The point is to kill the lines with the bit
.. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:35] "1" "2" "3" "4" ...
and change the "Named chr" into a plain chr.
