[Rik]

Update of bug #47627 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Do you have access to Matlab and can you test there as well?

Second, according to the documentation for datestr, your format is invalid. 
The correct designation for years, months, and days is lower case.  


datenum (2015, 3, 31)
ans =  736054
datenum (2015, 4, 1)
ans =  736055
% Using lowercase yyyy, mm, dd as described in datestr
datenum('2015-03-31 00:00','yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM')
ans =  736054
datenum('2015-04-01 00:00','yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM')
ans =  736055


It does look as if the input validation could be improved in Octave.
