Hi

I am trying to figure out the best method to use age-type attributes in
program indicator calculations. As a simple example, let us say I want a
program indicator which displays the age in years of a person. From what I
can see, the age-type attribute stores its value as a date, according to
the date of birth either selected or estimated based on what is entered in
the years, weeks and months fields respectively during registration. If I
want to use this date in a program indicator however it seems to not work
correctly.

ie d2:yearsBetween(age, event_date) when used as an expressions as an
example would not give me the correct age in years. Is there another way in
which to make these types of program indicators work with the age-type
attribute?

Thanks,
Nick
