More context would help.  E.g., what command did you
type to get that message?

You can get it from
  > sink("junk.txt", append=NULL)
  Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : invalid 'open'
argument
or
  > sink("junk.txt", append=c(TRUE,FALSE))
  Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : invalid 'open'
argument
or
  > sink("junk.txt", append=NA)
  Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : invalid 'open'
argument
because sink expect append to be either TRUE or FALSE.
