<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif">Thank you for your quick response. This
date is a date coming from a DB2 date field and is valid in my incoming
data. Frankly, I am with you, why not null versus a silly low date
as such, arggggh. But since it is coming in as such do you know of
a work around?</font>

How do I get drools to understand this low date? I have tried
single,<br>
double, and no quotes around the low date and all result in a similiar
