Subject: st: displaying summary statistics of date variables
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
