Actual exam question for Blue Prism's AD01 exam

Question #: 82
Topic #: 1

[All AD01 Questions]

Please refer to the exhibits.

This is a detail of a Process sub-page

* Sign Up Dale Current Date and Expiry Date Dala Hems are of the Date data type

* Status and Output Data Items are of the Text' data type.

What is the output of this logic when the page is executed till its End stage'

ASubscription Status = Expired. Expiration Date = 04-07-2023

BInternal Error at the Decision stage as > function cannot be used for dates

CInternal Error at the Calc3 stage as a date cannot be stored in a Text Data Item

DSubscription Status = Active; Expiration Date = 04-07-2023

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Data Items and Types:

Current Date: 13-06-2023 (Date data type)

Expiry Date: 04-07-2023 (Date data type)

Status: Text data type

Output: Text data type

Decision Stage:

The decision checks if Current Date > Expiry Date.

13-06-2023 is not greater than 04-07-2023, so the decision evaluates to No.

Calc1 and Calc3 Execution:

Since the decision is No, Calc1 and Calc3 are executed.

Calc1 is not shown, but it must set Status to something other than 'Expired' (possibly 'Active').

Calc3 concatenates Status and Expiry Date to form the final output.

Expected Output:

If Calc1 sets Status to 'Active', Calc3 will produce the output:

Subscription Status = Active; Expiration Date = 04-07-2023

Final Output:

Given the logic and data provided, if Calc1 does not change Status from 'Expired' (it wasn't executed due to decision No path):

Subscription Status = Expired. Expiration Date = 04-07-2023

If the decision path was intended to show Expired status, then:

Subscription Status = Expired; Expiration Date = 04-07-2023.

Totally agree, option C makes the most sense here!

Wait, are we sure about that date format? Seems off.

Definitely an internal error with the text data type.

I think it should throw an error at the Decision stage.

I feel like the subscription status should reflect the current date, so maybe option D is correct? But I’m not completely confident.

I think option B sounds familiar, but I also recall something about how dates can be stored in text items. It's confusing!

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like there was a practice question about data types that mentioned errors when using dates in text fields.

I remember we discussed how date comparisons work in logic flows. I think the output could be related to the expiration date.

I'm a bit confused by the different data types and how they're supposed to interact. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and maybe even sketch out the logic on paper.

This seems like a good opportunity to apply my knowledge of data types and conditional logic. I'm feeling confident I can work through this systematically.

Okay, I think I see the issue with the date and text data types. I'll need to make sure I understand how that's supposed to work in the logic.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the data types and logic to figure out the right output.

Hmm, the date data types seem straightforward, but I'm not sure about the interaction with the Text data type. I'll have to think this through step-by-step.

I'm with the majority here - option D is the correct answer. It's always important to pay attention to the data types specified in the question.

Option C seems like a classic case of a developer trying to store a date in a text field. That's just asking for trouble! D is the way to go.

Haha, option B made me laugh. 'Internal Error at the Decision stage as > function cannot be used for dates' - that's a good one! But I think D is the right answer.

I agree with option D. The question clearly states that the Date data type is used for the relevant fields, so the output should be a valid date rather than an error.

The correct answer is option D. The date data type is used for the Sign Up Date and Expiry Date, so the Subscription Status should be Active and the Expiration Date should be 04-07-2023.
