Hello everyone,
 
I can execute my R code but I obtain a warning message and I do not know how to 
avoid it.
Let's consider, just by way of example, the following data table with 2 
subjects under study:
 
DT <- data.table(id=c(2,2,2,11,11),
  start=c(rep(as.Date("2007-01-01"),3),rep(as.Date("2010-09-30"),2)),
  visit=c("2007-03-01","2008-07-15","2008-11-17","2010-10-15","2011-05-17"),
  end=c(rep(as.Date("2009-05-01"),3),rep(as.Date("2012-03-25"),2)))
 
I get a new data table which assigns a fictitious visit on each 31 December 
between
the dates "start" and "end" corresponding to each individual:
 
DT.new <- unique(DT[,list(start,
 visit=as.Date(c(paste0(year(start[1]):(year(end[1])-1),"-12-31"))), 
 end), by=id])
 
Warning messages:
In `[.data.table`(DT, , list(start, visit = 
as.Date(c(paste0(year(start[1]):(year(end[1]) -  :
  Column 2 of result for group 1 is length 2 but the longest column in this 
result is 3. Recycled leaving remainder of 1 items. This warning is once only 
for the first group with this issue.
 
The R code works, but how can I avoid the warning?
 
Many thanks for any suggestion!!
