Opening RDA file (R file)

I am trying to open and see the data in an R file (.rda) but it gives me error:

library("ETAS")
vars <- load("jap.quakes.rda")
vars

This is the error msg:

Error in readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) :
  cannot open compressed file 'jap.rda', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

It seems that you want to load the data jap.quakes from the ETAS package. What your code now does is to load the jap.quakes.rda, which probably is not there (you can check with dir()).

Since you want to load data from a package just do:

data(jap.quakes)

This is also stated in the documentation of the package.

Now the object jap.quakes is available in your global environment. Type jap.quakes to show the object.
