Hi Kunal,
In other words what you are trying to acheive is "Not allowing user to have InvoiceDate as some Future Date, you want to make sure that Invoice date is today's Date.
Please correct me, if I didn't get what you are trying to do.

Thanks for the reply Muhammad and Vic. The "Today" reserved word does not seem to work in a BPM. I am not actually writing 4GL code here, I am simply setting up a plain vanilla method directive. In the conditions for pre-processing, I would like to check if the "APInvHed.Invoiceda te" field of "the changed row" "is more than" the "xxxxx" value. It is the "xxxxx" value that I would always like to be evaluated to the current date, when I use Today, i get the error "Row 1: Value should have the following format: DATE (<month>, <day>, <year>).

Thanks,
Kunal

E.g. You dont want user to enter date beyond 1 week.

I hope this will help you.

Subject: [Vantage] current date in a BPM

Hello,

Anyone know what the format for the current date would be for comparison in a BPM? I am trying to set up a BPM which is going to check if a user accidentally entered a date in the future.

Thanks,
Kunal
