Hi all,

I am currently trying to get acquainted with the "highfrequency" 
package. I get my raw data from WRDS in .csv format. My data looks as 
follows:

SYMBOL  DATE    TIME    PRICE   SIZE    G127    CORR    COND    EX
AOL     20000216        9:30:31         53.3125         622300  0       0       
        N
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         100     0       0       
Z       C
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         200     0       0       
Z       C
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         200     0       0       
        X
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         100     0       0       
        X
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         100     0       0       
        M
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         300     0       0       
        M
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         100     0       0       
        M
AOL     20000216        9:30:33         53.3125         100     0       0       
        M


I followed the steps outlined in the vignette to convert the .csv data 
into xts and RData formats using the code below, but always get the 
following error message:

### Error in if (length(c(year, month, day, hour, min, sec)) == 6 && 
c(year,  :
### missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
### In addition: Warning messages:
### 1: In as_numeric(YYYY) : NAs introduced by coercion
### 2: In as_numeric(YYYY) : NAs introduced by coercion

I am wondering what causes the error? Could it be due to the date format 
in the .csv file "20000216" versus "2000-02-16" ? Can anybody help out? 
Thanks in advance!
