Dear Mr Ista Zahn, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I had also realized that if I need to write.csv command should be out of loop. At first, I need to construct the data.frame.
Actually appending this data.frame is causing me the problem and not writing the csv file. That particular command will be executed outside the loop. Once this is generated, writing of the csv file should not be problem outside the loop.

Attempts to change append, col.names, sep, dec or qmethod are ignored, with a warning." Use write.table instead.
