where you are writing this code and for which purpose?

can you explain briefly about this then you can find the best solution…:slight_smile:

Have you ever opened dateNull() method? Here it is:

static date dateNull()
{
    return 01\01\1900;
}

AX doesn’t allow to assign null to date fields, it simply uses 01\01\1900 as a default value. If you check the field for dateNull() value (= 01\01\1900), there is no point in assigning the same value again.

hi arun,

if you write like if(DOB==datenull()), if the date is there it will consider that date otherwise it will assign default date that is 1900/01/01 to that date. there is no need to assign default date explicitly.

by writing the above code even if the date is not available also it will enter into the loop with default date…
