You really need to provide more information. The error message without the 
command that generated it and the structure of the data sets you are using is a 
bare minimum. A reproducible example is often necessary to debug code such as 
this.

You can simplify your code substantially with something like this

> cols <- c("H1", "H2", "H3", "H8")
> RS <- rowSums(kdata[, cols])
> kdata$target <- ifelse(RS == length(cols), "all-true",
+       ifelse(RS == 0, "all-false", "other"))

Got past the syntax error,now I got  new error below

Error in match.fun(FUN) : c("'ifelse((kmeans.data$HBV51OpenDmd &

Hi,

I would like to process each row of data frame having 8 columns of which I am 
interested in 4 columns for my analysis.I tried using apply function but I get 
syntax error,although I checked for missing syntaxes ,couldn't figure out the 
mistake.Can you also suggest me more efficient way to perform same action.

# creating target column from result
kdata$target <- apply(kdata,1,ifelse((kdata$H1 & kdata$H2 & kdata$H3 &
                                                         kdata$H8) == 
1,"all-true",(ifelse(kdata$H1== 0 &
                                                                                
                            kdata$H2 == 0 &
                                                                                
                            kdata$H3 == 0 &
                                                                                
                            kdata$H8 == 0) ,
                                                                                
                   "all-false","other")))
Thanks.
