stop R from rounding

Hello,
I have a column in a data frame that need to be 10 digits long. As
such:
Decimal.Year
1 1994.25997
2 1994.26020
However, R keeps rounding the digits. As such:
Decimal.Year
1 1994.260
2 1994.260
*Is there any way to stop this from happening?*
Here is how I created the data frame:
x <- read.table('bats_1994_CTD.txt')
colnames(x) <-
c
('Cruise
','Dec.Year','Lat.N','Long.W','Press','Depth','Temp','Sal','Oxy')
date <- subset(x,select=c(Dec.Year), (Depth<201) & (Depth>199))
datelist <- list(date$Dec.Year)
temp <- subset(x,select=c(Temp), (Depth<201) & (Depth>199))
tempmean <- aggregate(temp,by=datelist,FUN=mean)
tempframe <- data.frame(tempmean) #the first column of this
dataframe is the
one that I don't want R to round
R is not rounding. It is displaying with less than full precision. You can control that with format or sprintf or formatC.
