Please refer to the exhibits.

This is a detail of a Process sub-page

* Sign Up Dale Current Date and Expiry Date Dala Hems are of the Date data type

* Status and Output Data Items are of the Text' data type.

What is the output of this logic when the page is executed till its End stage'

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Data Items and Types:

Sign Up Date: 04-05-2023 (Date data type)

Current Date: 13-06-2023 (Date data type)

Expiry Date: 04-07-2023 (Date data type)

Status: Text data type

Output: Text data type

Decision Stage:

The decision checks if Current Date > Expiry Date.

13-06-2023 is not greater than 04-07-2023, so the decision evaluates to No.

Calc1 and Calc3 Execution:

Since the decision is No, Calc1 and Calc3 are executed.

Calc1 is not shown, but it must set Status to something other than 'Expired' (possibly 'Active').

Calc3 concatenates Status and Expiry Date to form the final output.

Expected Output:

If Calc1 sets Status to 'Active', Calc3 will produce the output:

Subscription Status = Active; Expiration Date = 04-07-2023

Final Output:

Given the logic and data provided, if Calc1 does not change Status from 'Expired' (it wasn't executed due to decision No path):

Subscription Status = Expired. Expiration Date = 04-07-2023

If the decision path was intended to show Expired status, then:

Subscription Status = Expired; Expiration Date = 04-07-2023.

Option C seems like a classic case of a developer trying to store a date in a text field. That's just asking for trouble! D is the way to go.

Haha, option B made me laugh. 'Internal Error at the Decision stage as > function cannot be used for dates' - that's a good one! But I think D is the right answer.

I agree with option D. The question clearly states that the Date data type is used for the relevant fields, so the output should be a valid date rather than an error.

The correct answer is option D. The date data type is used for the Sign Up Date and Expiry Date, so the Subscription Status should be Active and the Expiration Date should be 04-07-2023.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) Internal Error at the Calc3 stage as a date cannot be stored in a Text Data Item
