    A specific individual is deceased but the following information is displayed:

    Birth: 8 August 1916

    Age: 93 yearsDeath:
    The "Age: 93 years" should not be displayed and there is a death date/place but it will not display.  I don't see this problem with other individuals.  PGV 4.2.2.

    Take a look at the RAW code. I'll lay you odds, 10-to-1, that you have two 
    1 DEAT tags 
    probably a 1 DEAT Y and then a 
    1 DEAT 
    2 DATE  DD MMM YYY 
    2 PLAC anywhere-in-the-world 

    If not, then send me an ADMIN right user name and password, a samplye INDI number to review, and I'll advise you why.

    Stephens right (almost)  :-)

    I just tested it myself.
    If you have:

    1 DEAT Y

    1 DEAT

    2 DATE 08 AUG 1916

    You get Death: Yes displayed

    If you have

    1 DEAT

    1 DEAT

    2 DATE 08 AUG 1916

    you get what you see: Age: 93 yearsDeath:

    Is this a bug? Good question. Technically its your fault :-(
    But perhaps PGV can catch such issues. But should it? If it does, it would just be hiding your error. IMHO it is not a bug, and it is good that it shows as a problem.

    Nope - not a bug per se - as its definitely a data-entry error and frankly I don't want PGV deciding that I should have only one DEAT (although you can set it to unique yourself in the configuration, if you wish).  Been there - done that, that's how I knew it was a safe bet.

    I removed the errant 1 DEAT line and display information is correct.  Thanks.
