[R] "2013-06-28" coverts to 15884?

[Pascal Oettli]

Hello,

It works for me:

R> MaxUpdated_row <- NULL
R> MaxUpdated_val <- "2013-06-28"
R>
R>
R> rbind(MaxUpdated_row, as.Date(MaxUpdated_val, "%Y-%m-%d"))
      [,1]
[1,] 15884
R> c(MaxUpdated_row, as.Date(MaxUpdated_val, "%Y-%m-%d"))
[1] 15884
R> c(MaxUpdated_row, MaxUpdated_val)
[1] "2013-06-28"
R>

Regards,
Pascal
