Hi,

The function works fine. Now, because you are using .pyLabel (String/text) you need to convert this first using a temp property and use something like:

1. Property-Set in a step 1
2. .MyTempDate = @(Pega-RULES:String).toDate(.StringMMMYYDD)
3. WHEN in a step 2
4. @(Pega-RULES:DateTime).isDateInThePast(.MyTempDate)

Or use another function such as: @(Pega-RULES:DateTime).pxDateTimeisPastOrFuture(@(Pega-RULES:String).toDate(.StringMMMYYDD), true)

Thanks alot...it worked

My requirement is similar but I am getting syntax errors while evaluating. I have to compare

1. If a (ClipBoardProperty) Date falls between two particular dates

2. In a expression evaluation in a Decision Tree

(For example :- if ClipBoard Property RandomDte = 20120925T040000.000 GMT, I need to find out if this ClipBoard Property RandomDte falls between Sep 1 of 2012 and Dec 1 of 2012 dynamically)

How can I create two NEW dates -

a.) Say Sept 1 of the ClipBoard Property DateTime Object's YEAR Field and Dec 1 of the SAME Year - on the fly - in a Decision Tree using @(Pega-RULES:DateTime) and then

b.) Evaluate if my property falls between the above two generated dates.

Any pointers with syntax would be appreciated.

Hi,
Creating a date, you can use a Data transform, as long as you respect the format.
In the Decision tree you can call a When rule.
The When rule can compare a property of type Date with another property, dynamically.

Hi-

I have a requirement where there is a page list with 'Date' field on each page and I wanted to find out the index of the page which has the latest date. Is there a function that is available to use?

I wanted to do this in Data transform, so don't want to use obj-sort in an activity.

Appreciate your response in advance.

Hi,

An easy way to deal with that in a Data Transform would be to use the Sort function.

Have just one line in your DT

Sort: .MyPageList  then click on the "key" icon and type: .MyDateProperty / Ascending

After executing your DT then the index 1 contains your earliest date

Note you are modifying the order of your list in memory.
