Subject: [Rd] seq.POSIXt with by="DSTday" (PR#6212)
Message-ID: <20031230092737.9197510450@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

Submission from: (NULL) (213.203.71.194)


There seems to be a problem with seq.POSIXt with by="DSTday" and length>=999. In
the result, 
NA are produced for indexes >=999 (no such problem with by="day" or "x days")  

Begins <- as.POSIXct(strptime("1995-09-03", format="%Y-%m-%d"))

## Works (whatever be Begins)
Length <- 998
Ends <- seq(from=Begins, length=Length, by="DSTday")[Length]

## returns NA in Ends (whatever be Begins)
Length <- 999
Ends <- seq(from=Begins, length=Length, by="DSTday")[Length]

## Works
Length <- 499
Ends <- seq(from=Begins, length=Length, by="2 DSTdays")[Length]

## Returns NA
Length <- 500
Ends <- seq(from=Begins, length=Length, by="2 DSTdays")[Length]

Best regards,

Yves Deville
