If both age and date of birth are missing, I don't see that you can do anything except report missing.

Great! thanks very much! It worked, the ages look just as I expected them to. 
Although I'm not sure what to do with the "missing" value, although we coded it 
as 99/99/9999 it did not calculate and age, which makes sense. Perhaps I will 
just make a note in the final write up, do you think that will make sense?
