Convert integer to class Date

by

as.character() would be the general way rather than use paste() for its side effect

> v <- 20081101
> date <- as.Date(as.character(v), format = "%Y%m%d")
> date
[1] "2008-11-01"

(I presume this is a simple example and something like this:

v <- "20081101"

isn’t possible?)
