I suspect that you have an outdated version of "plm" and possibly R as 
well. (You don't supply either version although the posting guide asks you 
to.) plm version 1.0-1 is current.

The function pdata.frame() was removed and part of its functionality moved 
to the function plm.data() (in version 0.2-2, I think).

For a discussion, see the Journal of Statistical Software paper by the 
authors of the plm package:
   Yves Croissant, Giovanni Millo
