Hello:

What is the recommended method for retaining the tzone attributes when concatonating POSIXct objects?


(d1 <- ISOdate(1970,1,1)) # Sets the tzone attribute = GMT
[1] "1970-01-01 12:00:00 GMT"
(d1.2 <- c(d1, d1)) # c(..) strips the tzone attribute, displays in
the time zone of the operating system
[1] "1970-01-01 04:00:00 PST" "1970-01-01 04:00:00 PST"
attr(d1.2, 'tzone') <- 'GMT'
d1.2 # tzone attribute manually restored
[1] "1970-01-01 12:00:00 GMT" "1970-01-01 12:00:00 GMT"


"c" is a generic function with a method defined for objects of class POSIXct, so the results here were what is returned by c.POSIXct [as discussed with help('c.POSIXct')].


Is there some other function like "c2", say, that tries to retain attributes where "c" strips all but names?


      Thanks,
      Spencer
