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

years: A number (0 to 999) indicating the number of years by which all defined dates in the file are to be aged.
