Hi, I am using R for a while now, but I have not yet been able to convince R to produce helpful warnings or error messages. If you run a script that sources other scripts it may take a while to understand which script produced an error or a warning. For example, R tells you that warnings exist and asks you to call warnings() which then tell you the call that produced the warning but does not tell you from where the call originated.
I have seen the debug function, but I find that rather complicated, as one has to choose from a menu if errors occur and warnings are not reported. What I (one?) would love to have is a simple (standard) output that tells you the filename and the line-number that produced an error/warning. I find it hard to belief that this does not exist, and would be most grateful for any suggestions. jan -- Dr. Jan M.
