[R] inadequacy in as.integer....

[Ebert,Timothy Aaron]

Can you tell us why you want to do this? Is there something special about 09098 versus 9098 or 0000009098? In any mathematical operation these are all the same number.

Dear Tim,
                  So there is no way to coerce "09098" to 09098?

Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Dear members,
                             I came across this queer thing during my analysis:
> as.integer("09098")
9098

Any idea on how to retain the "0"?

Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
