as.decimal_diag, as.icd_short_diag, as.short_diag functions outputing opposite results

test_data.txt

When I used the

1. as.decimal_diag with my test data above in the decimal format, it spits out a FALSE,
2. as.icd_short_diag with my test data above in the decimal format, it spits out a TRUE,
3. as.short_diag with my test data above in the decimal format, it spits out a TRUE

Which is the opposite of what things should be...

The icd package does not detect which kind of ICD code (ICD-9 vs ICD-10) nor the format (decimal vs short.) Instead it allows you to get and set attributes on the icd object to mark the kind of ICD and the format. The as.* functions return the value of the "icd_short_diag" attribute.

So, as.decimal_diag sets the "icd_short_diag" attribute to FALSE, and as.short_diag sets the attribute to TRUE. In fact, the output does not depend on the ICD code that is passed in.
