I Date TestSTand data type

[trout00]

TestSTAND date data type

I use TestSTAND pop up message to request user to input date in the input string

for example: 10/8/2008  in TestSTAND input string in popup message.

 I assume this is a string

how do I compare this date to today date or any other date.?

Does TestSTAND have a TestSTAND Date data type?

Hi,

No TestStand doesn't have a Date type.

The Date() function returns a string i.e "20/10/2008". Therefore, providing you entered in the same format you could do a StrComp(Locals.DateEntered, Locals.CurrentDate) which if the same would return 0.

But you could get Date() to return the individual Year, Month, Day values then you could do a check on these values. Check out the syntax in the Function Browser.

Hope this helps
