  end_date = "Date",
  beg_date = "HireDate",
  maxten = 40,
  return = "message"
)

end_date	A string specifying the name of the date variable representing the latest date. Defaults to "Date".
beg_date	A string specifying the name of the date variable representing the hire date. Defaults to "HireDate".
maxten	A numeric value representing the maximum tenure. If the tenure exceeds this threshold, it would be accounted for in the flag message.
