Hi Mary, Something such as

Any ideas? Thank you. Sincerely, Mary A. Marion Steven McKinney wrote: Does this approach what you're looking for?

Marion Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 8:00 PM To: r-help@r-project.org<mailto:r-help@r-project.org> Subject: [R] mathematical notation in R Hello, I have an R function which includes the statement LBAuo<- -9999. Rather than printing out -9999 I want it to print out - infinity. As of yet I have not been able to do that. I am not in a graphics window just outputting a set of variables. Can you help? Thanks.
