Creating data using multiple for loops

id <- do.call(paste0,expand.grid(0:9, 1:3, 1:5))

Comment: If you use R much, you'll do much better using R language
constructs than trying to apply those from other languages (Java perhaps?).
I realize this can be difficult, especially if you are experienced in the
another language (or languages), but it's worth the effort.

I would like to create pseudo identification numbers in the format of

and day of birth (01-28). The IDs can be character.

I have gotten this far:

for (ssn in 0:9){
     for (month in 1:3){
          for (day in 1:5){
                      }
                      id <-paste(ssn, month, day, sep="")
            }
}

limiting each value above for demonstration purposes. I cannot figure out
how to store the created IDs. I know I have to create a container, but I
don't know, among other things, how to index the container.  Any help is
appreciated. TIA
