Roland, can you tell us, where is "functions/data_management.R" coming from, and what's the content of gretldata$SLIST? As things stand we're not in a position to replicate this issue. I'd also note, there are some unclosed quotes above that would presumably halt execution in R, but maybe that's just a matter of transcription.
