Death Date generator

The Death Date generator creates dates of death basing on the dates of birth with the option to set lifespan that is based on the weight list.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

• The column name starts with ‘Death’ and ends with ‘Date’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
• The column name starts with ‘Date’ or ‘Day’ and ends with ‘Death’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
• The column name ends with ‘dead’, preceded by any or no characters, regardless of the table name.
• The column name is ‘DOD’, ‘ddate’, or ‘dday’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on an IronPython script. Since it is built on the Python generator, see Python generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
