[R] Troubles with subset()

Hello all,

I have the attached dataset which I read from SPSS and transformed a little
bit using the script below. I am trying to run a logistic regression using
glm() on a subset of my data. When I run the logistic regression on the
whle dataset, it runs OK. As soon as I try to run on the subset, I get an
error message related to different lengths of variables. Any idea why this
might be so? Thanks for your inputs. V


Here is my code. Not sure if the data itself got itself through.
=======================
library (foreign)
library (Hmisc)
MC0911_S <- read.spss("C:/Users/samsung/Desktop/R Pilot/MC0911_S.sav",
  use.value.labels=FALSE, max.value.labels=Inf, to.data.frame=TRUE)

colnames(MC0911) <- tolower(colnames(MC0911))

MC0911_S <-transform (MC0911_S, age=2009-a1)
MC0911_S <-transform (MC0911_S, b34=b4/b3)
MC0911_S <-transform (MC0911_S, CCU=b34+b7+b8)
MC0911_S$CCU2 [MC0911_S$CCU==4] <-"1"
MC0911_S$CCU2 [MC0911_S$CCU!=4] <-"0"
MC0911_S$a3<-as.factor(MC0911_S$a3)
MC0911_S$a6<-as.factor(MC0911_S$a6)
MC0911_S$CCU2<-as.numeric(MC0911_S$CCU2)
attach(MC0911_S)
glm(CCU2~age+a3+a6+a8+a9, family=binomial)
detach()
MC0911_2<-subset(MC0911, year>2009)
attach(MC0911_2)
glm(CCU2~age+a3+a6+a8+a9, family=binomial)
detach()
