Could any one tell me how to create a new column having constant value in .Xdf file without taking data into dataframe.

I have a date type global variable named mod_run_date having value as "2014-05-01" . I want to create a new column CV_PROCESSED_AS_OF_DT in "/poc/revor/data/selective_acceptance_inter.xdf" having value as "2014-05-01" for all rows.

Have tried below code for the same:

rxDataStep(inData = "/poc/revor/data/selective_acceptance_inter.xdf",outFile = "/poc/revor/data/selective_acceptance.xdf",
transform = list(CV_PROCESSED_AS_OF_DT = mod_run_date),transformObjects = list(mod_run_date = mod_run_date),
overwrite = TRUE)

But getting error that 

argument 3 matches multiple formal arguments

Could anyone point out the mistake I am doing in the code or any other approach to obtain the same.

Thanks in advance for your help...:)

Cheers,

Amit

The issue us that you haven't fully specified the proper argument. You need transforms, not transform. The problem with transform is alluded to by your error, ie it could be transforms, transformFunc, or transformObjects.
