Sorry that was rude of me… I meant to thank everyone but particularly Mike
and Hlowe for the algorithms they suggested, but I appreciated all of your
comments.
Cheers,
Mark

Currently I am doing something kludgy like:
convert dateone from d
ut 60*60*24*365.25 into secs_per_year

year
put 60*60*24*365.25 into secs_per_year
put the trunc of (age / secs_per_year) into age
But I suspect it is only approximate.
Thanks
