Year of a specific age calculation

NewUsrStat — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 16:16:13 GMT

Hi guys,

suppose an individual is born at 01JUN2013, how is it possible to determine at which year he will become 60?

Thank you very much!

You don't even need to do this in SAS, you can do this in your head.

Add 60 to the birth year

2013+60=2073

But maybe that gives you an idea about how to do it in SAS

Two ways starting with a SAS date value.

data example;
   dob='01JUN2013'd;
   age60 = intnx('year',dob,60,'s');
   yrage60 = year(age60);
   format dob age60 date9.;
run;
/* or */
data example2;
   dob='01JUN2013'd; 
   yrage60 = year(dob)+60;
   format dob date9.;
run;
