You can use '<<-' to assign to the parent frame like this:
tag <- 0
tryCatch({
print("inside tryCatch")
print(paste("tag", tag))
stop("forcing an error")
}, error=function(e) {
print("caught an error")
tag <<- 1
})
But you can also use the return value of tryCatch as a return code if
that is what "tag" is. Like this:
fail <- TRUE
tag <- tryCatch({
print("inside tryCatch")
if (fail)
stop("forcing an error")
0
}, error=function(e) {
print("caught an error")
1
})
tag
