In case that happens to others. Seems related to R global `digits`
options, maybe something changed in R.3.2.1.
--Mel.
```
options(digits=3)
1000-0.5
# [1] 1000
options(digits=5)
1000-0.5
# [1] 999.5
```

Hi,
Thx, I see I have another problem, not related to data.table (sorry).
R seems to truncate numbers in the console. Not sure what's going on.

Hi,
copying your code, everything works as expected for me.
Maybe you just referenced to a wrong object (pcn08)?
```
library(data.table)
data.table 1.9.4 For help type: ?data.table
*** NB: by=.EACHI is now explicit. See README to restore previous
behaviour.
pcn <- fread("PovCalServlet_15.08.03.csv")
sapply(pcn, class)
pcn <- fread("PovCalServlet_15.08.03.csv")
sapply(pcn, class)
