beginner's problem in displaying large data

1.  Did you try "dim(sample.data)"?  Is it actually 2200 by 15?  
Or are you reading in just some subset of the data?  If it is 2200 by 
15, could you also please do "class(sample.data)"? 

      2.  I just got a full listing from the following: 

      (tst <- data.frame(array(rnorm(2200), dim=c(2200, 15))))

      You might try this.  With R 2.0.0patched under Windows 2000, I got 
rows 1:2200 flying by 3 times, each with 5 columns. 

      3.  Have you considered doing plots (including qqnorm) of numeric 
variables and tables of character variables?  These can often reveal 
problems I might never see in a simple scan of numbers. 

      4.  "PLEASE do read the posting guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  At minimum, please tell 
us which version of R under which operating system, and specifically 
what you did to get it into R and how you know it's 2200 by 15. 

      hope this helps.

I got a sample data (let's call it sample.data), which is about 2200 by 15.

I tried to take a look of all data

 

sample.data
   

It shows only a part of data that I thought was a corner. It does not
really affect my job, but I thought it is nice to have a look of all
data. I can see individual records and they are fine.

Is this normal because of buffer size or some reasons? Can I use other
commands or change some settings to display all data?

Thanks,
Terry
