Hi R-friends, Can anyone explain the following strange behavior to me? > as.Date( "4/25/71","%m/%d/%y") [1] "1971-04-25" > as.Date( "4/25/62","%m/%d/%y") [1] "2062-04-25"
so 71 is converted to 1971, while 62 is converted to 2062? Does anyone know why? And is there a simple way to specify the date? (does works the same way in R 2.01 as well as in 1.9) ------------------- dr F.H.G.
