[R-pkg-devel] Referring to data in R/sysdata.rda

In my package I have a dataframe that I use but want to hide from the
user.  In Hadley's book on R Packages,  he says:

      ? If you want to store parsed data, but not make it available to

the user, put it in R/sysdata.rda. This is the best place to put data that
your functions need.

I have done that,  and sure enough when the package is loaded, the
structure is there.  However,  when I am working on debugging code, and I
refer to the  structure in a function,  RStudio gives a warning that the
structure is out of scope, say the data frame is myDF:

myFunc  <-  function(myIndex) {
     junk  <-  myDF[index]
    return(junk)
}

RStudio will warn that myDF is out of scope.  My question is if there is a
proper way to refer to myDF so as not to get the warning,  or just ignore
it.  Basically before submission I try to remove all warnings from the
editor,  even style ones,  just to have things cleaner.

Thanks,

-Roy
