Hi everybody,

 

I have a strange behavior of the as.Date() function. For example:

 

as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01'")

 

I would expect to get 2000-01-01. But R gives me

 

[1] "2070-01-01"

 

I tried with several origins but the results are still the same. It
seems that the origin does not apply and remains 1970-01-01.

 

Does anyone can give me a hint  how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks very much.

 

Fabio
