Thanks for the help.I got the required quantiles by altering ur code 
as follows 

qfu<-function(x,digits=3,sci=F,...)
{c(q=quantile(x,probs=c(5,90)/100))
}
and my result of the R system is different from my sas system output for the
same function  .could anyone help me in this and what is the reason for
difference in results .I have attached both outputs
R output:
    zip price.q.5%  price.q.90%
1 60000   567000.0  567000
2 60001   709184.4  390626852
3 60002 20349692.4  358154046
4 60003 49847874.0  49847874
5 60004   469447.9  3972289

I have already checked that SAS and SPSS produces the same output.Do i'm
missing anything when using the function quantile
