In EL the year
2000 = 100
2001 = 101
2002 = 102
So to call current date in EL
If Date = Currentdate
calls for action on todays date
If Date = 1011212
is what you are trying to call.
If you use
If Currnetdate = 1011212 it will never happen again as it is in the
past.
Current Date call the date from the system clock.
Hope that helped.
