How do yo handle different date of birth formats from the various sources?

Our system classifies dates of birth in six categories:

  1. DOB Type 1 – Full DOB from Source (Ex. Source provided 11/24/1980, our data would say 11/24/1980)
  2. DOB Type 2 – Full DOB from source but from different locations (Ex. Source provide Month – 11 Day – 24 Year – 1980, our data would say 11/24/1980)
  3. DOB Type 3 – Month and Year was provided from source, we then contrive the DOB with a 1 in the day field. (Ex. Source provided 11/ 1980, our data would say 11/1/1980)
  4. DOB Type 4 – Year only from source, we then contrived 1 as month and 1 as day. (Ex. Source provided 1980, our data would say 1/1/1980)
  5. DOB Type 5 – Source only provided an age. We contrive it to be the date of the raw file minus the age. (Ex. Source provided 28 from a file dated 2/2/2009. Our date would say 1/1/1981).
  6. DOB Type 6 – Source didn’t provide a DOB. (Ex. Source provided nothing. Our data would say 1/1/1901)
