Hello all,
I recently moved from the US to Africa & on changing my time zone
in the OSX system preferences from EST to GMT+3 ( East Africa) on
attempting to use read.dta using the foreign package began
getting an error of:
"Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard
unambiguous format"
This error goes away & the data is correctly read in when I revert to
the EST time zone.
I installed & am currently using R Version 1.19-pre (devel, r4291)
(4291) while I was still in the US.
I am running OS X 10.4.11 on an intel core duo Macbbook pro.
I would appreciate any help . I have tried to search the list & FAQ
with no solution to this problem.
Happy 2008.
