Use a method of Date object...

Use a Calendar object.

Would you give a code example to add 19 years to variable birthDate?

Thanx,

I'm new to Java, got a deadline pushing me and I haven't used a Calendar
object. An example, please.

Thanx,
Bill

Please don't top-post--put your comments after other's comments. A basic
example is below, but expect to read the Javadocs if you plan on getting
ahead.

And yes, we all have deadlines.

Calendar c = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
c.setTime (birthDate);
c.add (Calendar.YEAR, 19);
Date result = c.getTime()

Java has timestamps, but they are very awkward for pure dates that
logically don't have a time of day or a timezone. For that I use
BigDate.
