Using dates in workflow conditions

Behavior:
If you want to specify conditions for variables of type "Date" in “If...else” activities and in “Exit conditions” of Parallel Tasks you need to take care of these following topics.

Solution:

1. Only following operators are valid for variables of type "date" and only these should be used:: =, >=, >, <, <=;
2. When defining a date value the following expression should be used:
   “cdate(“25/05/2012”)”, “cdate(“25-05-2012”)”, “cdate(“25.05.2012”)” etc.
   Only typing the date will not be accepted as a valid condition and you will not be able to publish the workflow.
