R help - Jul 2004 - Synatx Error on start with R --no-save < myfile.R

Dear all!

I wrote my R-code with an editor and loaded it with
source("my_file.R").
Everything works fine as expected.

When I try to start my code with:
R --no-save < my_file.R 

I do get a synatx error half way through. The version is 1.9.0 on a Linux 
system. To start it with  R --no-save < my_file.R works on some machines but 
on some it doesn't.

Are there any rules I've to consider, when I want to start it that way?
Any ideas what might cause syntax errors when starting code like that?

Regards
Philipp

Strange, you might experience that some buffers reaching their limits. 
But we cannot know without the code in my_file.R

Anyway, please try the recommended solution instead:

   R BATCH --no-save my_file.R
