1)if first one less than second one return number -1,
TalendDate.compareDate("2016-DEC-01" ,"2016-DEC-020","yyyy-MM-dd");
2)equlas return number 0,
TalendDate.compareDate("2016-DEC-01" ,"2016-DEC-01","yyyy-MM-dd");
3)bigger than return number 1. (can compare partly)
TalendDate.compareDate("2016-DEC-15" ,"2016-DEC-01","yyyy-MM-dd");
Working Code :
Var.start : TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd","2016-DEC-01")
Var.End : TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd","2016-DEC-01" )
TalendDate.compareDate(Var.start,Var.End,"yyyy-MM-dd");
COMPARE DATE () SUMMARY :
Date1 < Date2 : Returns -1
Date1 = Date 2 : Returns 0
Date1> Date 2 : Returns 1
