Dear all,
I am using the ISOdatetime function like this:
test.info$TradeTime = with(test.info, mapply(FUN = ISOdatetime, Year, Month, Day, Hour,
Minute, 60, "EST"))
Where Year, Month etc are all numeric.
I think ISOdatetime should return a POSIXct object. However, the result I
obtained from the line above is all numeric. Could you please advise? I wish to
get POSIXct.
ISOdatetime did: mapply threw away the class.
See its SIMPLIFY argument, which defaults to TRUE.
It this case it is unnecessary: e.g.
ISOdatetime(2011, c(11,12), c(30,1), 1, 30, 35, tz="EST")
A 'sec' value of 60 should not be used ... it indicates a leap second
which POSIX ignores.
Thank you very much.
- Alex
