Dear R Users, Tried to install RBloomberg with R-2.12.0 and appears RDComclient has not been built for this version of R, so failed. I then tried to get RBloombergs' Java API version to work, but ran into problems with RJava which does not appear to exist for Windows. My platform is Windows XP SP3. Will RDcomclient be built for R-2.12.0 anytime soon ? Does a version of RBloomberh with a

Hello, For basic date time arithmetics operations, AFAK, there're actually the function difftime() and the (dt + num) operations. I'm wondering if other basic operations exist, like add(dt, num, unit) where unit would be "y", "q", "m", etc. Also for the function seq.dates (or seq.POSIXt), the case for by="months" would be more useful if it

Dear all, I have found the following (for me) incomprehensible behaviour of ISOdate (POSIXct): > ISOdate(1900,6,16) [1] "1900-06-15 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" > ISOdate(1950,6,16) [1] "1950-06-16 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" Note that in the first case I get the 15th of June back, not the 16th as I would have expected!
