Hello @sushma9 , there are some issues like extra parentheses and the comparison operator.

Hi @sushma9 

First thing ((current.u_arrival_date), there is extra braces '(' you used.

second thing compareTo is generally used in string type and date not in string it is object

you can use code like below, if comparision on today

var dateField = new GlideDateTime(current.u_arrival_date);;

var nowTime = new GlideDateTime(); // current date and time

var dur = new GlideDuration();

dur = GlideDateTime.subtract(dateField, nowTime);

var days = dur.getDayPart();

gs.info(days);

if(days>0){
gs.info("Arrival date can not be in past");

}

Please check and Mark Helpful or correct if it really helps you.
