Dear R users

I read two csv data files into R and  called them Tem1 and Tem5.

For the first column, data in Tem1 has 13 digits where in Tem5 there are 14
digits for each observation.

Originally there are 'numerical' as can be seen in my code below.  But how
can I display/convert them using other form rather than scientific
notations which seems a standard/default?

 I want them to be in the form like '20110911001084', but I'm very confused
why when I used 'as.factor' call it works for my 'Tem1' but not for
'Tem5'...??


Many thanks!

HJ
