Thanks for your reply Jim,

I've realized that in my data R recognizes the value "missing" as authentic NA. 
So, in conclusion, I really have:

> DT

   id       date
1:  1 1997-04-26
2:  1         NA
3:  4 1998-08-25
4:  4         NA
5:  4 1998-11-07

And if I do:

 > sum(is.na(DT$date))

The result is 2. So I've applied your suggestion and there are not changes in 
date variable. Can you help me?
