Thank you very much for trying to help me. Using following R codes, I can
generate a LaTeX long table which can repeat "Age" and "Interval & 0 & 1 & 2 &
3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & Totals" as title and subtitle across
multiple pages. However, the part of "0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 &
10 & 11" is for fish ages (I am working on fish) which vary between species and
years within each species, and R can't update this part according to different
species and years. As a result, I have to manually update it in either my R or
LaTeX codes, which I am trying to avoid in order to save time and to minimize
errors. It looks like there is no solution to my problem so far. Anyway,
thank you again and have a good weekend.
age.addtorow <- list()
age.addtorow$pos <- list()
age.addtorow$pos[[1]] <- c(0)
age.addtorow$command <- c(paste("\\hline \n",
"\\endfirsthead \n",
"\\multicolumn{4}{l}{{", paste("Table",
"\\thetable\\ Continued}}", paste("\\", "\\", sep="")), paste("\n"),
"\\hline \n",
"\\multicolumn{7}{r}{{Age}}", paste("\\",
"\\", sep=""), paste("\n"),
"\\hline \n",
"Interval & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7
& 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & Totals", paste("\\", "\\", sep=""), paste("\n"),
"\\hline \n",
"\\endhead \n",
"\\hline \n",
"{\\footnotesize To continue} \n",
"\\endfoot \n",
"\\endlastfoot \n",sep=""))
print(x.age.composition, file=output.age.composition.location.file,
include.rownames = FALSE,
include.colnames = TRUE, hline.after = c(-1,
-1, 0, 1, nrow(x.age.composition), nrow(x.age.composition)), type="latex",
append=FALSE, floating=FALSE,
tabular.environment = "longtable", na.print = "", caption.placement = "top",
sanitize.colnames.function = force,
add.to.row = age.addtorow))

I don't see that being an option in xtable ... but looking at this:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/33510/how-do-i-create-the-headings-for-this-multirow-multicolum-table
... it seems to be pretty straightforward to write a function that writes LaTeX
output from your dataframe for the Tex multirow package.
