[R] replace values but different replacement length

[Spencer Graves]

      What are the lengths of

match02$BL02DATE[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)] and match02$BLOCKED?  

	  In particular, have you considered the following:  

match02$BL02DATE[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)] <-  match02$BLOCKED[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)]


      hope this helps.  spencer graves
