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

[arun]

Hi,

Not sure if this helps or not:
vec1 <- c(MaxUpdated_row, as.Date(c("2013-06-28","2013-06-29"), "%Y-%m-%d")) + as.Date("1970-01-01")
vec1
#[1] "2013-06-28" "2013-06-29"
str(vec1)
 #Date[1:2], format: "2013-06-28" "2013-06-29"

rbind(MaxUpdated_row, as.Date(c("2013-06-28","2013-06-29"), "%Y-%m-%d")) + as.Date("1970-01-01")
#[1] "2013-06-28" "2013-06-29"

A.K.

      [,1]
[1,] 15884

c(MaxUpdated_row, as.Date(MaxUpdated_val, "%Y-%m-%d""))
>[1] 15884
c(MaxUpdated_row, MaxUpdated_val)

Evidently, I'm again missing something simple, as I would prefer to be able to see the actual date to be shown.  

I found a work around, but I don't like it, as I have to convert back to date later:
c(MaxUpdated_row, as.character(MaxUpdated_val))

Any alternatives suggestions are much appreciated.
