Re: datenum

[Claudio Belotti]

Carine,
this bug has been around sometime but is reported as closed:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2888&atid=102888&func=detail&aid=992400
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2888&atid=102888&func=detail&aid=856975

In my case:
octave2.1           2.1.60
octave-forge        2004.09.09

datenum(2000,1,1)
give 730486

Maybe your version is too old.
