Calculate Age

Hi everyone,

I am trying to calculate age using Datediff, but the month and year for the interview and birth dates are listed as separate variables (i.e., imonth, iyear, birthmon, and birthyear). How can I combine these, so I can use Datediff?

Best,

Monique

See FM on date functions (and formats). If you don't have a day, choose one
(e.g. 15).

compute birthDate = date.dmy(birthday, birthmonth, birthyear).
compute iDate      = date.dmy(iday,       imonth,       imonth).
formats  birthDate iDate    (adate10)  /*or other preferred format*/.

compute Age = DATEDIFF(iDate, birthDate, 'years').
execute.
