I know this should be easy, but I must be brain-dead today.

I need to find all of my employees who are at least 70 years old as of 6/1/2007. This is the formula I am using in my selection criteria:

{PAEMPLOYEE.BIRTHDATE} < {?effective date} - 70

It is not working. Thanks for your help.
 
Hi,
What database?


Usually date math is done in Days.

Try ( this works for Oracle DATE types):
Code:
({?effective_date}-{HR_CUR_RPTNG.BIRTH_DT})/365.25 > 70.0

Yep - I was using Oracle and this worked perfect. Thanks so much!!
