Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with strptime. (R 1.9.1 on a Win2000
machine)
I have a large list containing 6 columns and 161800 rows.
One column contains dates that I want to convert in order to compare the
different dates.
Some dates work just fine while others become NA. I don't see any
difference between the dates.
I've attached an example from my code. Hope this explains my problem.
Thanks in advance
