I tried this, and AAIGrid is not available for creation by rgdal on my machine. See gdalDrivers() for those available.

If you install FWTools you can use a workaround to convert the export externally, e.g.

x <- readGDAL(system.file("external/test.ag", package="sp")[1])

## write to GeoTIFF
writeGDAL(x, "mes01jan.tif",  type = "Byte")

## convert externally to AAIGrid
system("gdal_translate mes01jan.tif mes01jan.asc -of AAIGrid -ot Byte")

## check result
system("gdalinfo mes01jan.asc")

I don't believe that AAIGrid can explicitly support type Byte without augmentation, so I would carefully check the coercion that occurs (if it's actually needed).

Cheers, Mike.

Dear all,
I am reading a set of maps from ArcGRID format using rgdal and I need to
export to ASC format.

But when I try the commands below, I get an error.

require(rgdal)

mes01jan<-readGDAL("jan_00")
image(mes01jan, col=topo.colors(50))  #looks find
writeGDAL(mes01jan, "mes01jan.asc", drivername = "AAIGrid", type="Byte")

Any idea?
