I'm using this code to calculate age in months using two different methods:
x_age_mn_m1 = intck("month", dob, 1_date)+0.5;
x_age_mn_d1 = intck ("day", dob, 1_date)/30.43;
x_age_mn_m2 = intck("month", dob, 2_date)+0.5;
x_age_mn_d2 = intck ("day", dob, 2_date)/30.43;
The code works fine, but there are improbable values generated for the age_mn variables (x_age_mn_m1 and x_age_mn_d1) one of the inputs, only one!
Why does this happen, and how can I solve it? Thanks!
ID | DOB | 1_date | x_age_mn_m1 | x_age_mn_d1 | 2_date | x_age_mn_m2 | x_age_mn_d2 |
z | 05/23/2012 | 03/30/3017 | 12058.5 | 12060.93 | 05/15/2017 | 60.5 | 59.744 |
Did you intend for that date to be almost 1,000 years in the future?

If you want to count calendar months rather than month boundaries then use this option:
x_age_mn_m1 = intck("month", dob, 1_date, 'C');
