[rules-users] RE: Effective-date in decision tables

[Bhamidi, Krishna]

I am attempting to work with effective dates in decision tables. My decision table has two columns - DATE-EFFECTIVE and DATE-EXPIRES; and have a date of date-effective 01/01/2009 and date-expires of 12/31/2009. So far so good.. After compilation, the code I see has duration 31/12/2009 - essentially, the compiler seems to have recognised the date. And, I get an error that reads - [86,12]: [ERR 102] Line 86:12 mismatched input '/' expecting 'then' in rule "CorporateVacations_22"

Here's the compiled code snippet with the error -

#From row number: 22
rule "CorporateVacations_22"

 duration 31/12/2009
  ruleflow-group "corporatevacations"
  when
   CorporateHolidays(holidaysList contains "12252009")
  then
   if(returnList==null){ returnList = new ArrayList();} returnList.add("Christmas Day");
  end

 [86,12]: [ERR 102] Line 86:12 mismatched input '/' expecting 'then' in rule "CorporateVacations_22"

Is there any other way of defining the effective and expiration days? Is there a correct way of using the dates?

Krishna

Is there a way I can set effective-date for rules in decision tables? It does not appear in any of the key-words of a decision table syntax.

Thank you,
Krishna
