Hi Gabor,
You are correct. The real problem is with read.csv. I am not sure why? My
data looks
V1,V2,V3
11.08,21.73,13.08
7.08,37.73,6.08
7.08,11.73,21.08
I never had this problem earlier. Anyway I did
>df <- read.csv("Data.csv")
>tsdata <- ts((df),frequency = 12, start = c(1999, 1))
it works fine. But still puzzled with read.csv behavior. Any thoughts?
Thanx Gabor, Achim and Brian for your help.

df[] <- sapply(format(df), as.numeric)
will convert it to numeric but I think the real problem is the read.csv
statement. Do commas represent separators or decimals since
you have specified comma for both? Assuming it looks like:
A,B,C
1,2,3
4,5,6
just do:
DF <- read.csv("Data.csv")
str(DF)
