Hi,

I would like to compare date from incoming field and system date.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,

(a) what format are the dates?

(b) are you using XSLT 2.0?

Dates are in dd/MM/yyyy and using 1.0

Thanks

OK, that's about the worst possible answer: XSLT 1.0 has no date arithmetic and no regular expression support.

Use substring() and concat() to convert the dates to format YYYYMMDD, then treat these as numbers and compare them as numbers. To get the system date you'll have to pass it in to the stylesheet as a parameter.
