R help - Mar 2017 - Error in curve 'expr' did not evaluate to an object of length 'n'

Please help. I try to re-produce R-script by plotting a set of functionWhen i
running code: plot(Vectorize(running.acf.max))it gets the error message like
this:?Error in curve(expr = x, from = from, to = to, xlim = xlim, ylab = ylab,
?:?? 'expr' did not evaluate to an object of length 'n'
Even though i have vectorized the function argument.

Your example is not reproducible.  We do not have the file 
EURJPY.m14401.csv.

cheers,

You define a function called running.acf.max and then call
    plot(running.acf.max)
R's plot, when given a function f, makes a plot of f(x) vs. x
by calling curve().

Did you mean to plot the result of running.acf.max with its
default arguments?  That would be done with
    plot(running.acf.max())

There are several other problems with this code.  E.g., you have
  running.acf.max <-
  function (data = returns, window = 100, nlags = 5, plot = T, main =
"")
  {
      clevel <- qnorm(0.5 + 0.95/2)/sqrt(window)
      series <- rollapply(data = returns, window, align = "right",
          by = 1, function(w) {
          ...

You should have data=data in the call to rollapply so it depends
on the 'data' argument to running.acf.max.

Use traceback() after an error to see where the error came from.
