I have two variables in DATE format: DOB (Date of Birth), APP_DATE (Date of
Application.)
I want to calculate AgeAtApp (in years) from these two dates, but simply
subtracting DOB from APP_DATE doesn't work. The syntax manual seems
unhelpful in this regard. Seems like this ought to be an easy thing to do.
How do I calculate Age in this circumstance?

Thanks,
Bob
