if((!current.start_date.nil())&&(!current.end_date.nil()))

{

  var

startdate = current.start_date.getGlideObject().getNumericValue();

  var

enddate = current.end_date.getGlideObject().getNumericValue();

      gs.addInfoMessage('start must be before end date'); // i should not use this or error message please help me out

      current.setAbortAction(true);

  }

Hi Shrinandhini,

Since a Business Rule runs server side, I do not believe the alert function will work as you want, as this function is processed on client side. Maybe it's possible in a complex way..

From server side, the only way I know to warning messages are through GlideSystem calls [gs.addInfoMessage() or gs.addErrorMessage()].

Otherwise, if you really want some kind of popup message window, maybe you could try to use this script validation in a Client Script, UI Action or UI Policy, which are processed on client side.
