Need advise - compare specified date in *.sql with sysdate.

Question

Hi Guys,
Need help here.
Anyone has a script that will compare the specified date with the current sysdate. If earlier, it will order SQL*PLUS to quit immediate.
Basically the checking will be in a *.sql script. Whenever we run the script, @c:\script.sql, it will first compare the dates and decide whether to proceed with the rest of the codes (dml) below the date checker in the same script.sql
thanks

Hi,
I'm not sure I understood as it seems too simple to me:
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
   v_date   DATE := TO_DATE('&yourdate', 'YYYYMMDD');
BEGIN
   IF v_date >= TRUNC(SYSDATE)
   THEN
     /* Your DML statements here */
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Code is executed');
   ELSE
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Date is before SYSDATE.');
   END IF;
END;
EXIT
{code}
