Hello Jim,

thanks for your answer. At the moment I am using this code:

Range0<-sapply(1:85, function(i) eval(parse(text=paste("range(V", i,  
", na.rm=T)", sep=""))))

and it works really fine.

The code you sent me is also fine but how can I implement, that  
missing values are TRUE?

Thanks a lot for your help

Birgit
