function getAge bDay
put 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 into secsPerYear
put secsPerYear / 12 into secsPerMonth
put the seconds into tDay
-- assuming date of birth is given in short system date format
convert bDay from short system date to seconds
put tDay - bDay into tAgeInSecs
put tAgeInSecs div secsPerYear into tYears
put (tAgeInSecs mod secsPerYear) div secsPerMonth into tMonths
return tYears && tMonths
end getAge
This is pretty rough and ready, it doesn't try to take into account
leap years and so-on, but unless the person is really old (100 yrs
+ ?), it should be close enough. Also, see 'centuryCutoff' in the
docs if you're going to be dealing with older people.
Best,
Mark

Hi there,
For an educational app I want to calculate someone's age based on date
of birth and todays date but I don't know how to start!
I made a field in which the user puts its 'date of birth' (dd/mm/yy)
and a button that needs to compare 'todays date' and the 'date of
birth'.
The output needs to be : age and months (and days?)
Is there someone who has any suggestions?
greetings,
William de Smet
