I must be doing something wrong in my duration and age calculations,
because the code is supposed to do what you suggest. When you change the
mode form "maturity" to "age" or "duration", the number should be
updated to the respective representation of the same point in time.

Can you see where I made the mistake? The relevant parts are:
 1. duration_scalars_ vector, with "absolute" durations for the rows
 2. compute_duration_scalar() to compute 1. for a row
 3. adjust_duration_num(), to fill the numeric field correctly

In compute_duration_scalar(), e_maturity is converted to duration scalar
by calling input_.years_to_maturity() (this yields 55 in your example).

In adjust_duration_num(), numeric field for e_attained_age ("until age")
is set to the scalar (55) plus input_.issue_age().

Is (any of) this wrong?

Thanks in advance,
