# rbindDS called by ds.rbind serverside assign function that takes a sequence of vector, matrix or data-frame arguments and combines them by row to produce a matrix. ```r rbindDS(x.names.transmit = NULL, colnames.transmit = NULL) ``` ## Arguments - `x.names.transmit`: This is a vector of character strings representing the names of the elemental components to be combined converted into a transmittable format. This argument is fully specified by the argument of `ds.rbind` - `colnames.transmit`: This is NULL or a vector of character strings representing forced column names for the output object converted into a transmittable format. This argument is fully specified by the argument of `ds.cbind`. ## Returns the object specified by the argument of `ds.rbind`(or default name ) which is written to the serverside. As well as writing the output object as on the serverside, two validity messages are returned indicating whether has been created in each data source and if so whether it is in a valid form. If its form is not valid in at least one study - e.g. because a disclosure trap was tripped and creation of the full output object was blocked - ds.cbind() also returns any studysideMessages that can explain the error in creating the full output object. As well as appearing on the screen at run time,if you wish to see the relevant studysideMessages at a later date you can use the `ds.message` function. If you type ds.message("") it will print out the relevant studysideMessage from any datasource in which there was an error in creating and a studysideMessage was saved. If there was no error and was created without problems no studysideMessage will have been saved and ds.message("") will return the message: "ALL OK: there are no studysideMessage(s) on this datasource". ## Details A sequence of vector, matrix or data-frame arguments is combined row by row to produce a matrix which is written to the serverside. For more details see help for `ds.rbind` and the native R function `rbind`. ## Author(s) Paul Burton for DataSHIELD Development Team
