R help - Jan 2007 - Is it the PPS samples i needed in R?

Dear friends,
  I want to do a unequal probability sampling, that is, Probability
Proportionate to size, Is it right for the following programs?
Say my original dataset is:

 ID  Population
 1     100
 2     200
 3     300
 IF the population is large ,then the corresponding ID has the large
Probability to be selected.

sample(A$ID, size=2, replace = FALSE, prob = A$population)
#suppose the dataset name is A.
Is it the PPS samples  i needed ?
 Any suggestions are greatly welcome.

With Kind Regards,

No, this does not give PPS samples for size>1.  The "pps" and
"sampling"
packages have code for PPS samples.
