[R] error message documentation: "Error: no function to return from, jumping to top level"

[bartjoosen]

I think you wrote a function, but pass only snippets of code from your script
to your R-console.
The part which return the error is the following:
return(....)

return can only be used to return from a function and not as a command in
the R-console.
