Thank you very mutch JC. I was just trying the compareTo method but i've tried this : I considere Var1 is in date type:
Var.Var1.compareTo(20071231) > 0
But i get this message : "Error compareTo(date) => The method compareTo(date) in the type date is not applicable for the arguments (int)

Like I did, you must create a date type variable with the date you want compare to.
The expression for the variable is :
TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd","2007-12-31")

It's because compareTo need a date type as parameter and you give a integer. Thats why, on the image, you see the parse Date function.
