You need to do
help("<-")
for a full explanation but in brief when you do <- it assigns locally
and since it could not find data locally it makes it for you but when
you do <<- it tries its very best to find data somewhere. Since data is
the name of a function which the authors of R have locked it fails.

Hi,
thanks, using
test <<- readRDS (name)
it worked. But why?

Try calling it something other than data.

Hi,
I have two scripts, one creates a data structure (a list of data frames
+ some attributes) and saves it via saveRDS.
The second script reads the RDS file (outside of any function) and
data <- readRDS (name)
works, but
data <<- readRDS (name)
creates the error
Error: cannot change value of locked binding for 'data'
Any idea what goes wrong?
Thanks Sigbert
