Question

For some reason, i would like to be able to add a reference date, like 0-0-0, which will represent ‘no date’. Any way of doing that ? And will 0/0/0 work?

Answer 1

If you want to represent “no date” that please do that by explicitly setting it to “no date” which in Groovy is simply done by assigning a null value to a date variable.

Date someDate = new Date()
print someDate //prints current date
someDate = null
print someDate //prints null - you can test for that
