Dear Tamas,
Thank you so much for the suggestion.
But the same error message still pops out when I put double quotes on the expression.
(while in the case where the selection variable is a binomial one, the command works well even without double quotes!)
Do you think there may be any other problem of the syntax?
Kuo, Chiu-Wei
