Randomly generate decimal year. Translate SAS code to R?

I'm not sure, if I'm allowed to ask this.

I'm trying to translate below program to R code? Can you help? I appreciate your help indeed! Acknowledgement: Reeza helped write rand code below. Thanks Reeza!

data today;
input id age_at_msmt_month dob bmi;
cards;
55 12.0 2002 17.1
55 19.4 2002 15.6
55 31.7 2002 17.1
55 45.5 2002 16.8
55 52.3 2002 17.1
21 10.9 2005 16.5
21 19.2 2005 16.6
21 24.5 2005 15.4
11 8.28 2010 16.3

data want;
input id age_at_msmt_month dob bmi dob_decimal;
cards;

;

data want;
set today;
by id ;
retain rand;
if first.id then do;
rand =round( ceil( rand('uniform')*100)/100, 0.01);
end;

dob_rand = dob+rand;
run;

You're allowed to ask, just unlikely to get an answer. I'd probably post it to an R forum instead.

Did Reeza just say "unlikely to get an answer", I think this is the first time you said something like this, you know everything !

I know 🙂 Reeza consults for R language too 🙂

I do, but that I charge for 😉

Sadly this is not my full time job and I should actually be doing that!

Reeza, do you tutor doctoral students on programming in R for payment? I'm using age-period-cohort modelling for my dissertation project. Let me know if that's what you're familiar with. We can private chat as well if needed.
