Hi Tulasi,
Follow the below steps
Click on create button-Dynamic action
select Advanced type
Give some name
event - On change
selection type - item
item(s) - your page item(used to select date of birth)
condition - no condition
action - Execute PL/SQL code
Fire on page load - blank
PL/SQL code -
declare
v_age varchar2(100);
v_dob date;
v_sysdate date;
begin
select sysdate into v_sysdate from dual;
v_dob := :P1_DOB;    //here P1_dob is a page item from where i am selecting date of birth.
select trunc(to_char((v_sysdate - v_dob)/365)) into v_age from dual;
:P1_AGE := v_age;     // i have created one item named P1_AGE to display the calculated age.
end;Page Items to Submit = P1_DOB // replace with your datepicker page item
Page Items to Return = P1_AGE // replace with your item.
Hope this will give you some idea.
Thanks and Regards,
