Definition

Calculated age of employee (non-numerical)

Use

This is an additional field for infotype 0002 (Personal Data). You can use both SAP Query and Ad Hoc Query to report on it.

Dependencies

The value of this field depends on the data selection period you use to execute a query. The data selection period and current date are used to determine a key date. The age is calculated using the key date and date of birth (P0002-GBDAT).

The key date is calculated as follows:

The system date is                   

- Within the data selection period
=> Key date = system date

- Before the data selection period
=> Key date = start of data selection period

- After the data selection period
=> Key date = end of data selection period

When you execute reports for a specific key date, the specified date is used as the key date of the calculation.

Note: The data type of this additional field is not numerical, which means it cannot be used for calculations (such as mean value calculations). The system has another additional field that calculates the age of an employee in exactly the same way (EMPL_AGE). This additional field is a numerical data type, so it can be used for calculations.

Example

You want to display the age of your employees on December 31, 2004 in a query.

Use the age of employee field as an output field, and enter December 31, 2004 as the data selection period.
