Hello Dear R community,
 This is my problem.  I have a data set (dataframe) called "mydat". It consist of 3 numerical variable.  They are Centrecode, FSUSN and Round. I want to create unique ID by combining these 3 variables.
Follwing commands gives me what I need.

mydat1 <- paste(mydat$Centrecode, mydat$FSUSN,mydat$Round,sep="")
newds <- data.frame(mydat1)
 
 For a large data set, I don't want to write like this ...    "mydat$Centrecode, mydat$FSUSN,mydat$Round". So,  I tried to automate using following code.
 
nvar <- paste("mydat","$",names(mydat)[1:3],sep="")
mydat1 <- paste(eval(parse(text=nvar)))
newds <- data.frame(mydat1_u)
 
I am finding problem in the second line. Please help me. 
Thank you for your kind help.
