Nick Shelley's Divorce sentence template for the role "Child": > His birth date is exact and the divorce references the year. > What am I doing wrong? John Cardinal gave a lot of very good advice, which I recommend that you follow. His issue about not using a Role variable, but using a Subject variable instead, relates to the changes in how TMG handles role variables that were introduced in Version 9. For details of these changes see Terry Reigel's web page: http://tmg.reigelridge.com/role-changes.htm John also noted: > TMG won't return a value for [RA:role] when > one of the dates is a year only. That is why you get no output. In general I recommend using the 'AE' versions of the age variables as you will almost always get a date. In your case I would use the variable [SE] introduced in Version 9. The following is from the Age variable topic in the "Tag Sentence Details" chapter of my on-line book: http://www.mjh-nm.net/TAGSENTS.HTML#AgeVariables "The [AE] variable will produce an exact age (years, months, and days) if both dates are complete. It will still produce output even if only approximate dates are known, but it will be only years. The TMG documentation calls [AE] an exact age variable, I choose to call it an exact or estimated age variable. There is no variable to always output just years regardless of the completeness of the dates." Hope this helps explain what you are seeing, Michael
