Calculus - I have an integral with a lower limit of R and no upper limit. I'm not sure what it means.?

It's hard because I can't show subscript and superscript here. Imagine that the R is the lower limit and there is no upper limit. I'm used to seeing limits like -∞ to ∞ or a to b but never just a lower limit of R. What does it mean? Here is a sample question.

∫R dx/(1+x^2)

    Sometimes that notation is used to denote the integral along a curve C or an interval I. In this case I guess it means along a radial loop.
