I have had an issue with printing (with cat) in a subroutine for which I do not have a applicable example, but I am still hoping to get some help. In the following, the first block of code works fine. ... t<-abs(me)/se; p<-2*(1-pt(t,nrow(x))) sig<-my.sig.levels(p) out<-data.frame(round(cbind(me,se,t,p),digits)); out<-cbind(out,sig) rownames(out)<-names(me) colnames(out)<-c("est","se","t","p","sig") j<-grep(".one\\b",rownames(out)) out<-out[-j,] return(out) } But as soon as I insert lines to print (cat) soething simple, it spits out message that appears to be nonsence (unrelated). Any idea. Please help. Thanks. t<-abs(me)/se; p<-2*(1-pt(t,nrow(x))) sig<-my.sig.levels(p) out<-data.frame(round(cbind(me,se,t,p),digits)); out<-cbind(out,sig) rownames(out)<-names(me) colnames(out)<-c("est","se","t","p","sig") cat("\nMarginal and Discrete Effects of Gen Ordered Logit / Probit Probabilities", ??? "\n\nlogistic =",logistic) j<-grep(".one\\b",rownames(out)) out<-out[-j,] return(out) } In this particular case, the error message was as follows: Error in cat("\nMarginal and Discrete Effects of Gen Ordered Logit / Probit Probabilities",? : ? unused argument (logistic) I have printed this way in numerous routines without problem and do not see why this is happending.
Hi Steven: Do you have a variable called logistic, please? I think that might be the culprit. Thanks, Erin On Thu, Oct 13, 2022 at 1:35 AM Steven T.

Do you have another function called "cat" in scope? (with an argument called "j")? Before calling cat("...") call print(cat) and print(find("cat")). -Bill On Thu, Oct 13, 2022 at 12:35 AM Steven T.
