Hi all,

I am using ISOdatetime, and I just found out that when I do
ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,2,10,0) (or any other value under minutes or seconds)
I get NA

This does not happen with the same time in other dates, nor with different
hours in the same date.
Any hint why this happens?

A non-existent time, most likely:

 x <- ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,1,10,0)
x
[1] "1995-03-26 01:10:00 CET"
seq(x, length=10, by="hour")
 [1] "1995-03-26 01:10:00 CET"  "1995-03-26 03:10:00 CEST"
 [3] "1995-03-26 04:10:00 CEST" "1995-03-26 05:10:00 CEST"
 [5] "1995-03-26 06:10:00 CEST" "1995-03-26 07:10:00 CEST"
 [7] "1995-03-26 08:10:00 CEST" "1995-03-26 09:10:00 CEST"
 [9] "1995-03-26 10:10:00 CEST" "1995-03-26 11:10:00 CEST"

in TZ=Europe/Lisbon, which is my guess as to near where you are

There was no 2:10 on 1995-03-26 in Lisbon: the clocks went forward an hour at 2 am.
