I am at last really trying to get to grips with version 4 and am trying to create a sentence in relation to facts recorded for a Death Certificate. One of the fields is Age: (at death) so I tried the following in the Fact Definition window, neither of which work!
{individual} died {date} {place} aged {age}
{individual} died {date} {place} aged {AgeAt(%INDI%, [deathage]}
Is there a way to pick up the age at death?

Currently I don't think the age field is supported in sentences.
There is a wish list item for this

Thanks Jane,
I have added a comment on the Wish List page. I will survive without this flexibility!

Geoff,
Try this:
{individual} died {date} {place}
Try this:
{individual} died {date} {place}

Thankyou for that; works a treat. One thing I found with it is the Capital A on both Age and At are required. Lower case didn't work for me.

{individual} died {date} {place}
Please be aware that the 'age at death' is a calculated age and doesn't pick up the age shown in the 'Age' box. A problem may occur if you only have a year given for a date of birth and not the full dob.
Anyone (Simon?) know how to pick up from the 'Age' box?

I have found that the following works OK:
{individual} died {date} {place}
It seems that the only requirement is for the first 'A' in 'Age-at' to be upper-case.
However, the only reference I can find in FH's Help file is:
{individual} died {date} {place}
It seems that the only requirement is for the first 'A' in 'Age-at' to be upper-case.
However, the only reference I can find in FH's Help file is:
which occurs in Date Formats. Does anyone (Simon? Jane?) know where these 3 additional qualifiers are discussed? Or even what the other 2 qualifiers are?There are also 3 other qualifiers which can only be used with some dates, which give a person's age at the date in question. These qualifiers are not discussed here.

I've found the answer to my last question. The other 2 date qualifiers are :Husband_at_age and :Wife_at_age which work for family events, e.g. marriage, and are used in some standard text schemes. Still not found any documentation, though.
