describe function in package Hmisc and function format.dates in chron (PR#13087)

kemphillips
Full_Name: Kem Phillips
Version: 2.7.1 (2008-06-23)
OS: Windows Xp professional
Submission from: (NULL) (98.221.200.108)


The Hmisc function   describe   fails, giving the error message:

   Error in formatDateTime(dd, atx, !timeUsed) :
     could not find function "format.dates"

Loading the chron package, where function  dates  apparently resides, does not
fix the problem.   Note also that loading  chron  gives a warning.  Earlier
versions of  chron  from the archive failed to load properly.  Please see the
entire session below, with the error message at the bottom.

Thanks.

Re: describe function in package Hmisc and function format.dates in chron (PR#13087)

Charles Dupont
This is because format.dates has become non-callable from outside the chron
package.  Until the next release of Hmisc you can download a fixed version of
the describe function at

http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/svn/R/Hmisc/trunk/R/describe.s
