Subject: [Rd] possible bug in chron packages
Message-ID: <AANLkTim1m5md+R9HHh2Vcao990mfxoeZJ+CP5YZUhPUX@mail.gmail.com>

Dear,

According to the documentation, the parameters given in "dates" are
passed to the function "chron". When trying this out, it turns out
that this apparently doesn't happen, eg:

> dates("20100101",format="Ymd",out.format="day mon year")
[1] 01/01/10
> chron("20100101",format="Ymd",out.format="day mon year")
[1] 01 Jan 2010

I would expect the outcome of both functions to be the same, or am I
overlooking something?

Kind regards
Joris
