PROBLEM CREATING A DATE VARIABLE

[Ricardo Mejias]

The code below is applied to a file that already contains several variables, to which I want to add two more that I create (but it is too large to go through email and my attempts to select the first 100 records is not working either).  When the code gets to COMPUTE EndDate = YRMODA(2021, 01, 31)., the program crashes with all of its windows disappearing from the screen.

What am I doing wrong and what do I have to do to correct it?

GET /FILE = "E:\GNU_PSPP\FloridaTotalsFiles\SelectedAndAddedFields_20210209.sav"

FILTER OFF.

USE ALL.

SELECT IF(NOT MISSING(BirthDate)).

STRING ResidenceZipcodes (A5).

COMPUTE ResidenceZipcodes=SUBSTR(ResidenceZipcode,1,5).

DELETE VARIABLES ResidenceZipcode.

NUMERIC EndDate (F10).                     /*Worked up to here.  Crashes on the next line*/

COMPUTE EndDate = YRMODA(2021, 01, 31).

FORMAT EndDate (ADATE10).

COMPUTE AgeInMonths = DATEDIFF(EndDate,BirthDate,'days') / (365.25*12).

Thanks Alan, but I don't earn the credits for the Nullsoft installer. I am
just a user of it. :-)

Stay safe
