The above code does not produce the output you show when I
paste it into R. It would be highly desirable to have a short,
documented, working example...

How do they correspond? Do you mean they are both columns of a
data.frame as your example output suggests? But CANDS and DEVS
are of differnt length, so this is probably not what you meant.
Finally, your code seems to indicate that you want all elements
of CANDS for which the corresponding (?) value of DEVS is less
than threshold DEV, but only if DEV>DEVS. The latter produces a
warning, as you are comparing a single value to a vector of 5,
which is most likely not what you want. At this point my
confusion is perfect and I give up.
I think you need to give us a better explanantion of what data
you have and what exactly you want to accomplish.
