To project using Scale BB, append “GB” to the mortality table name. For example, “RP2000GB-CM” or “UP94GBM”.
Scale BB is also available for use with static mortality table projection (projected to a specific year). As with any other projection scale, this is done by appending the table name with the “@” sign, followed by the year, followed by a “/”, followed by the scale name. (When projecting GAM94, UP94, or RP2000, the scale name can be omitted because scale AA is implied.)
Examples:
- RP-2000 Combined Active/Retiree Healthy Table (male), projected to 2012 with scale AA is “rp2000-cm@2012” (or “rp2000-cm@2012/aa).
- RP-2000 Combined Active/Retiree Healthy Table (male), projected to 2012 with scale BB is or “rp2000-cm@2012/bb.
