Year aging

There are two process statements for year aging:

NY2AGE: Aging applies to the new file
OY2AGE: Aging applies to the old file

These statements age all the defined dates in either the new or old file. That is, the number of years specified is added to the "year" portion of each defined date in the file concerned.

Note: Dates are defined by the Date Definition process statements NY2C, NY2Z, NY2D, NY2P, OY2C, OY2Z, OY2D, and OY2P; see Date definitions.

Compare Type: LINE

OY2AGE 28: Ages all defined dates in the "old" file by 28 years before being compared. The listing shows the original date. For example, a defined date in the "old" file with a value equating to March 1, 1997, is aged to March 1, 2025 before being compared to its equivalent in the "new" file.
