Exercise (4-9)

Run the code in the yellow box before working on this exercise:

Data Date; Input ID $ BirthDate MarriageDate; Format BirthDate MarriageDate yymmdd10.; Datalines; ID001 4423 19215 ID002 3234 19216 ID003 3242 19215 ID004 5124 19217 ID005 4921 19216 ID006 2772 19215 ID007 4212 19216 ID008 3821 19215 ID009 2412 19216 ID010 4124 19217 ; Run;

The DATE data set contains the date of marriage information from a list of survey participants:

• ID: Survey Participant's Identification
• BIRTHDATE: Date of Birth
• MARRIAGEDATE: Date of marriage

To calculate the marriage age for each participant, we can use the equation below:

Age of Marriage = (Date of Marriage - Date of Birth)/365.25

However, the age must be rounded down to the nearest integer.

Write a SAS program to calculate the marriage age for each survey participants.
