Date Rule to return Graphic not working


iprint2

Recommended Posts

Below is the rule that I am working with

 

 

if (FormatDate(Field("BIRTH_DATE"),"mm/dd/yyyy") > FormatDate("08/31/1963","mm/dd/yyyy"))

{

return Resource("Entertainment TL_Sept.jpg");

}

else

{

return Resource("Better with Age Day_new TL_Sept.jpg");

}

 

 

My problem is that I have the date of 10/08/1942 and it is returning the Entertainment graphic rather than the Better with Age Day and I have a 05/15/1976 that is doing the opposite. Other dates are working fine. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

You're comparing strings rather than dates. You should convert them to actual dates:

var birthday = new Date(Field('BIRTH_DATE'));
var cutoff = new Date('08/31/1963');
var file = birthday > cutoff ? 'Entertainment' : 'Better with Age Day_new';
return Resource(file + ' TL_Sept.jpg');
