Don't know the answer to your question but note that chron can do it without by=.
xD <- as.Date("1996-01-01") yD <- as.Date("1996-12-01") library(chron) xc <- chron(xD) yc <- chron(yD) seq(xc, yc) # Also one can do this in either chron or Date: chron(xc:yc) as.Date(xD:yD) Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2004 11:29:08 -0800 From: Vadim Ogranovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Rd] seq.Date requires by Hi, What is the reason for seq.Date to require the 'by' argument and not to default it to 1 in the example below? > seq(from=as.Date("1996-01-01"), to=as.Date("1996-12-01")) Error in seq.Date(from = as.Date("1996-01-01"), to = as.Date("1996-12-01")) : exactly two of `to', `by' and `length.out' / `along.with' must be specified This is R-1.9.1, but I haven't seen anything pertaining in the release notes of 2.0.x.
