Hello,
You are not using dates.
> 2011-01-01
[1] 2009
> 2011-07-01
[1] 2003
> as.Date(2011-07-01)
Error in as.Date.numeric(2011 - 7 - 1) : 'origin' must be supplied
> as.Date("2011-07-01")
[1] "2011-07-01"
The error is because as.Date is seeing 2003 as a number, the number of
days since an unspecified origin.
The solution for your problem would be to quote the dates.
> Sys.Date() > "2011-07-01"
[1] TRUE
(And if you want to keep the dates between your two limits, '&' is the
operator to use.)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas
