Dear all,

I use R version 2.15.1 on  x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit).

I run a simulation where I have to call a series of R scripts in batch mode.

When I run the following two lines, this works well for PERIOD='17' but not for 
PERIOD='08':

R CMD BATCH  --no-save "--args PERIOD='08' YEAR='203O' SC='BAU' " 
preparecostvectors.R preparecostvectors08_2030.Rout
R CMD BATCH  --no-save "--args PERIOD='17' YEAR='2030' SC='BAU' " 
preparecostvectors.R preparecostvectors17_2030.Rout

The error message I get for PERIOD='08' is (but I do not think this is relevant 
for my main question):

Error in names(votlist) <- votname :
  'names' attribute [3] must be the same length as the vector [0]

I get this error message for all values of YEAR.

Oddly enough, when I run the script preparecostvectors.R interactively, all 
works perfectly fine. However, this is not a structural solution, because I 
need to be able to run my simulation for a large number of years.

I was wondering if any tools exist that could help me to reconstruct what went 
wrong in batch mode. I think I am familiar with most debugging tools in 
interactive mode, but how can I trace the origin of the problem when I get an 
error in batch mode?

Just to avoid any misunderstanding: I am not asking any help on the error 
message itself, just some suggestions on how I could trace what goes wrong when 
running R in batch mode.
