The problem you mention comes from the fact that @p.ADM.PAT.age is stored differently for various ages. So, it is an unreliable field (by itself) to use as a reference. My preference is to always use the Z.age.in.years program to get the age in a common format. That program requires two arguments. I call it like this: %Z.age.in.years(@p.ADM.PAT.computed.birthdate,@.today) Of course in the situation you describe, you want a more accurate solution. In that case, I would use the Z.date.sub program to get the age in days. Once you have the age in days you can either set your criteria in days, or convert the age in days into either weeks or months through the appropriate math. I call it like this: %Z.date.sub(@.today,@p.ADM.PAT.birthdate) Daniel Davis, RN -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Price Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 8:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] AGE ATTRIBUTES Hello all, I have a slight problem with an attribute. The following attribute works great, the problem is the guideline has changed and instead of being 6-24 months it is now 6-59 months. I tried substituting the 24 months with 59 months and it did not work. I have tried several different formats with none of them working, I have now ran out of gas and looking towards you great people to assist. I really appreciate your help!
