2.60a 3.00 | 2.60a | 2.60a

WINDOWS    | MS-DOS | MACINTOSH

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
Microsoft Foxpro for Windows, version 2.6a
Microsoft Foxpro for MS-DOS, version 2.6a
Microsoft Foxpro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

To calculate a person's current age, enter the following commands in the Command window:

   m.DOB = {12/03/62}
   m.age = ROUND(((DATE() - m.DOB) / 365.25),0)
   ? m.age

NOTES: The value 365.25 accounts for leap years, and the question mark tells FoxPro to print the age to the screen. You may need to minimize open windows to see the printed value.
