You dont't tell us what you did to "create a datafile" - to me it
sounds like you created an object (probably a data frame) in your R
workspace. If that's  the case it is stored in a file called .RData in
your current work directory (together with other variables in your
workspace). If that is not what you did please give us mre
information.

BTW: R has a function called data and it is not a very good idea to
use function names as variable names.
