Hello Laun,</font><font size=3> </font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
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><font size=3>
</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br>
<br>
Thank so much,</font><font size=3> </font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br>

Why would you want to test for January 1st in year 1? This is not a <br>
value an object of type java.util.Date can represent. See that type's <br>
javadoc for details, but the epoch begins January 1, 1970. <br>

How do I get drools to understand this low date? I have tried
