Strange behaviour of ISOdatetime
Have you checked that that time exists in the time zone you are using? From ?ISOdatetime: Note ... Remember that in most timezones some times do not occur and some occur twice because of transitions to/from summer time. What happens in those cases is OS-specific. You could try working out what your system is using as the transition to/from summer time. (If you need to generate times that are 2 hours after midnight, try using ISOdatetime to generate the midnight times and add 2 hours). On my system, all this works fine:
ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,2,0,0)
[1] "1995-03-26 02:00:00 MST"
ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,0,0,0) + 2 * 60 * 60
[1] "1995-03-26 02:00:00 MST"

[1] NA But on other dates and/or times (hour) works OK

[1] "1995-03-25 02:00:00 GMT" In my home computer, I do not have this problem. I am running the same version of R (2.8.1 patched) on both machines, the same version of Gnu Emacs (22.3.1) and the same version of ESS (5.3.10). Both are running Windows XP. Has anyone experienced this before? Pedro
