Example: Comparing Dates

In this example, we explain how to compare two given dates to determine if a particular date.

• Action: Compare Date

• Input Value: 11/12/2025;11/12/2025;dd/MM/yyyy

  • The first argument (11/12/2025) specifies the current date.

  • The second argument (11/12/2025) specifies the date to compare against.

  • The third argument (dd/MM/yyyy) specifies the current format of the input dates.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The execution status (True) is stored in this {Status} dynamic variable with the following possible values:

    • True: If the comparison is successful.

    • False: If the operation fails due to an invalid date or format.

Logical Explanation: The Compare Dates action fetches the value from the Input Value column (11/12/2025;11/12/2025;dd/MM/yyyy), compares the two dates, and stores the outcome in the {Status} variable as (True).
