Examples

## The function is currently defined as
function (startYear, sequence, outFile) 
{
    nSeq = length(sequence)
    stopifnot(nSeq >= 1)
    indexedSeq = matrix(0, nrow = nSeq, ncol = 2)
    appendFlag = FALSE
    for (ndx in 1:nSeq) {
        if (is.na(sequence[ndx])) 
            sequence[ndx] = 0
        cat(c(startYear + ndx - 1, ", ", sequence[ndx], "\n"), 
            file = outFile, append = appendFlag)
        appendFlag = TRUE
        indexedSeq[ndx, 1] = startYear + ndx - 1
        indexedSeq[ndx, 2] = sequence[ndx]
    }
    return(indexedSeq)
  }
