• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Since the upgrade to RBD 9111 on the first converse of a TUI
  application implementing a date field its expected to produce
  the value as 0000000000 but instead shows a specific value like
  30/11/0002.
  
  Development confirmed this is a regression introduced in RBD
  v9.1.1.1 as where a date is being applied if the input string is
  invalid it should instead throw an exception to indicate the
  invalid date while not then entering a specific date.
