Gerald,

SQL is a language. dBASE is a language. SQL is supported by dBASE
(because it is an industry standard), but dBASE is not supported by SQL
(because dBASE is not an industry standard - or at least not
sufficiently so).

Since you are using 5.6, I would create a calculated field called AGE
and then do your SELECT on that. I am pretty sure the SELECT can choose
dBASE calculated fields in 5.6
