Hope it helps.
A.K.
Yes, but c(d) will still not have a 'tzone' attribute.
So the OP is okay as long as his further operations
do not depend on the presence of that attribute.

Subject: [R] lubridate concatenation issue
I took a look at Hadley's lubridate which seems a very neat package, but i am
having a small problem with concatenating lubridates to build vectors of it.
Namely when function c( ) is applied to lubridate seems to change time to a
local timezone in this particular case changing the date to previous one.
d<-ymd('20111231')
d
[1] "2011-12-31 UTC"
c(d)
[1] "2011-12-30 19:00:00 EST"
Is this the expected behavior and if yes, how could it be avoided for this
function and the others that possibly do the same? I mean, i could create the
date in my local timezone and avoid this, but if i don't do it, is there an
option in environment or functions to avoid this from happening -- otherwise i
need to watch out for nasty bugs.
Thanks
Andre
