I all

I am trying to combine columns from two dataframes to make a completely
new dataframe consisting of one column of dates (ie a combination of
dates from the two dataframes).

>From the following dataframes

      a b
1 2008-07-27 1
2 2008-10-01 2
3 2008-08-15 3
4 2008-08-14 4
5 2008-08-14 5
6 2008-09-20 6

           c d
1 2008-07-27 1
2 2008-10-01 2

I would like to get:

      z
 2008-07-27
 2008-10-01
 2008-08-15
 2008-08-14
 2008-08-14
 2008-09-20
 2008-07-27
 2008-10-01

a<-
data.frame(as.Date(c("2008-07-27","2008-10-01","2008-08-15","2008-08-14"
,
"2008-08-14","2008-09-20"), format = "%Y-%m-%d"),c(1:6))
names(a)=c("a","b")
a
b<- data.frame(as.Date(c("2008-07-27","2008-10-01"), format =
"%Y-%m-%d"),c(1:2))
names(b)=c("c","d")
a;b

I have tried:

append(a,b)
combine(a,b)
rbind(a,b)

I would appreciate your help.

Kind regards
