Hello,

This query pertains to manipulation of dates in R. I am new to R and
working on a time series data.
I use the commands,

REAL<-19920101 (say) # 01/01/1992

year<-floor(as.integer(REAL/10000))
year
[1] 1992

tmp<-as.integer(REAL)-year*10000
tmp
[1] 101

month<-floor(tmp/100)
day<-tmp-month*100

month
[1] 1
day
[1] 1

tmp.julian<- julian(month, day, year)
 tmp.julian
[1] 8035

dates(tmp.julian)
01/01/92

I wish to have the output as 01/01/1992 and not 01/01/92 ,but i am
unsuccessful and request your help.


Thanking You.
Regards
Amogh
