Window always returning no observations

I'm trying to write a simple code to understand the zoo package, but I'm always having issues with the window function. Everytime I call it, no matter if it is with my data or randomly generated data, I get the value as "without observations".

Here's the code I'm trying to use:

upper.bound <- as.Date(paste("01", "06", "2013", sep="-"), format="%d-%m-%Y")
lower.bound <- as.Date(paste("30", "09", "2013", sep="-"), format="%d-%m-%Y")
all_dates <- seq(as.Date(upper.bound), as.Date(lower.bound), by="day")

Z <-zoo(rnorm(200), order.by=all_dates)

x <- window(Z, upper.bound, lower.bound)

The second argument to window.zoo is index so what you thought was being matched to the start-date was not. Instead, remember to name your arguments:

?window.zoo
x <- window(Z, start=upper.bound, end=lower.bound)
x
