[R] POSIXlt and daylight savings time

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Jeff already answered to your question,

as.POSIXlt('2004-10-31 02:00:00', format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

And in my system and timezone (GMT) I get
as.POSIXlt('2004-10-31 02:00:00')
[1] "2004-10-31 02:00:00"

So Jeff's point (b) should also be followed.

sessionInfo()
R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)
Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)

locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=Portuguese_Portugal.1252 LC_CTYPE=Portuguese_Portugal.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=Portuguese_Portugal.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=Portuguese_Portugal.1252

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods base

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] fortunes_1.4-2 tools_2.15.1

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
