Converting Sys.Date() to a POSIX compliant time type in different ways produces inconsistent results: > Sys.date() [1] "2006-09-01" > as.POSIXct(Sys.Date()) [1] "2006-09-01 02:00:00 CEST" > as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date()) [1] "2006-09-01" > as.POSIXct(as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date())) [1] "2006-09-01 01:00:00 CEST" Applying as.POSIXct directly or first applying as.POSIXlt and then applying as.POSIXct produces different results. This happens on Linux with timezone "CEST" > Sys.time() [1] "2006-09-01 11:03:36 CEST" and on Windows with timezone "W. Europe Daylight Time" > Sys.time() [1] "2006-09-01 11:11:15 W. Europe Daylight Time" ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
