st: displaying summary statistics of date variables

[Devra Golbe <Devra.Golbe@hunter.cuny.edu>]

Is there a way to display summary statistics of (elapsed) date variables 
in  date format? For example, summary  of the following date variable 
produces output which is difficult to interpret:  What, for example, is the 
latest  date in variable "date"?  15337 is difficult to interpret.

 I have checked the manuals, the web site, and the list archives to no avail.

Thanks,
Devra
