As some people probably want a more accurate representation of age rather
than in whole years, here's another function, this outputs yy,mm,dd as in
21,5,26.
The really cool bit about this is from my meager testing it appears to take
into account leap years. This is based around a cool piece of
Hi all,
I could need a hint on how to compute the age of a person when I have
the birthday.
The convert to seconds and subtraction part is easy, but how to
proceed? :-)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Klaus,
Please test:
function age theDate
set the useSystemDate to true
convert theDate to dateItems
put the date into myToday
convert myToday to dateitems
put item 1 of myToday - item 1 of theDate - 1 into myAge
put item 1 of myToday into item 1 of theDate

function getAge pDate
put the date into tNow

Youd better be careful. The way Rev is calculating math these days,
depending on your method, you might end up inferring a woman is 43 x 1
to the 13th power. :-)

Are you sure he's a man? Also, he should have said:
function le_chevalier tGEner,tReal_age
if tGender = f then return min(39,tReal_age)
return tReal_age
end le_chevalier
no need for the AND or the ELSE parts.

From my DateTime library

following function:

I think the scripting competition permanently damaged me... clearly
this is a one-liner!

return 39 + offset(tGender, m) * (tReal_age - 39)

I think that might say that all females are 39.

Here's what I use:
function doAge bd,asOf
-- bd = birthdate in short date form
-- asOf = (optional) short date
--age is calculated as of date asOf
--or as of today if omitted
if sws(bd) = then
return
end if
if asOf = then
put the short date into asOf
end if
Peter,
I gave your function a try and it gave the wrong answer. I had a quick look
and somewhere along the line it converted 2009 to 1909, so I ended up with a
negative age. After some of the earlier posts, I guess it has potential for
a female audience.
Here's my attempt:
