I think you mean to use if instead of ifelse (and you should probably
read briefly on the difference between them: if is the regular
programming construct: ifelse is a vectorized thing)

if(length(theData) == 0) t0 <- t0 else t0 <- theData

which can be more expressly written as

t0 <- if(length(theData)==0) t0 else theData
