[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46171] datevec fails with FFF and PM

[Nick Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #46171 (project octave):

starting to step through datevec.m, stumbled onto the fact that inside the
kludge it doesn't distinguish between .2 .02 and .002.  all three give the
output of .002

i don't know if it should error out if FFF is given but less than three digits
are there. I can see where some programs or systems might drop trailing zeros.


If we need to throw an error for ML compatibility, that should be easy enough
by checking numel(msec)<3.

If it needs to function, inserting the following line before 262 fixes the
problem:


msec = [msec,'0'(ones(1,3-numel(msec)))];
