[Gretl-users] Issue with strptime()

Hi all, I am a bit puzzled by the following example where I first convert a date string into a timestamp before converting int back into a date string. However, instead of getting returned "2005:01", gretl returns "2004:12". It seems that the strptime() function does some weird thing, as can be checked here: https://www.epochconverter.com/ But maybe I miss something fundamental here. This is with latest git on ubuntu 19.04. <hansl> string init_obs = "01/2005" scalar tstamp = strptime(init_obs, "%m/%Y") eval strftime(tstamp, "%Y:%m")         # returns '2004:12' </hansl> Best, Artur
