Mike & Razzak, I've had this happen to me and I _think_ what happens is that in a command file you probably set the error message(s) off and do not set them back on again before the end of the file and, probably, the R:Base session.
That's no problem but if you then run the command file through TRACE again is comes up with an error when, presumably, trying to set any error message off which is already off. Of course, running the command normally shows no error because the error message is already turned off. Another possibility is if you break out of TRACE before reaching the turn back on statements and re-run. Either way, it seems to cause no problems other than show up an error message in TRACE on second and subsequent runs which, in my experience, can be ignored. Hope that helps, Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.
