Hi all,
Here is how to do it as a dictionary I-type. It is trivial to convert this
for a "normal" program. The code below works for the nasty cases of doing it
on Feb 29 or for someone born on that date.
OCONV(DATE(),'D4YMD'); OCONV(DOB,'D4YMD'); @1[1,[EMAIL PROTECTED],4];
IF @1[6,5] GE @2[6,5] THEN @3 ELSE @3 - 1
This is made up of four simple expressions.
7 The first gets the current date and formats it as YYYY MM DD. This result
is stored in the variable @1.
7 The second formats the date of birth in the same way. This result is
stored in the @2 variable.
7 The third simple expression subtracts the year of birth from the current
year. The result is stored in @3.
7 The final expression determines whether the current date is before the
birthday and, if so, modifies the calculated age.
