ds.asLogical: Converts a server-side R object into a logical class

In datashield/dsBaseClient: DataSHIELD Client Functions

Converts a server-side R object into a logical class

Description

Coerces an R object into a logical class. This function is based on the native R function as.logical.

Usage

ds.asLogical(x.name = NULL, newobj = NULL, datasources = NULL)

Arguments

x.name	a character string providing the name of the input object to be coerced to a logical.
newobj	a character string that provides the name for the output object that is stored on the data servers. Default aslogical.newobj.
datasources	a list of DSConnection-class objects obtained after login. If the datasources argument is not specified the default set of connections will be used: see datashield.connections_default.

Details

Server function called: asLogicalDS

Value

ds.asLogical returns the R object converted into a logical that is written to the server-side. Also, two validity messages are returned to the client-side indicating the name of the newobj which has been created in each data source and if it is in a valid form.
