Hi Marion,
the Hmisc package has also a function called "recode", maybe you loaded
this package after memisc so the memisc version was masked (you should
have got a warning message about that). Or perhaps you wrote you own
recode function?
Try
find("recode",mode="function")
to see all search list entries.
You can access the desired function regardless of the place in the
search path by
memisc::recode(...)
