Using the Test Tool to Match Dates

dngnc7

I am trying to take a list of dates in a text input tool and compare them to the current date using the test tool. If the current date matches a date in the text input tool, then the test should pass but if not then fail. Apparently the test tool does not work that way. If there is a non-match then it fails whether there is a match or not.

My question is, is there a way to accomplish this? Here's a partial screenshot of what I have.

CoG

The Test Tool is built to perform a block evaluation on all the data that goes into the tool. To handle your specific use case, since you want at least one record to match the current date, try filtering the data instead and using the Count Records Tool to prepare the data for testing. You will technically run into the same issue with the Message Tool although you can follow a similar pattern as below to make that tool work for you as well.

Hope this helps and Happy Solving!
