Oracle 9i Forms

Question

I have a form was converted from Oracle forms version 4.5 (character mode) to the 9i forms. it has a multi-record block. The first field on that block is a date field for user to enter a valid date. Please see the codes below,
==========================================================
:PARAMETER.ITM_FLG := 'T';
if :dummy_date_received_pos is null then
if :pmn_document_activity.date_activity_due is null and
:pmn_document_activity.document_reason_code is null
then
CLEAR_RECORD;
:dummy.question := 'Do you want to store what was
entered?';
:PARAMETER.blk_FLG := 'T';
GO_ITEM('dummy.yes_no');
else
message('Date Received can not be blank.');
:PARAMETER.ITM_FLG := 'F';
end if;
else --:dummy_date_received_pos is not null
end if;
=========================================================
When I enter an invalid date (example:adfdas or 01-FFF-2004) why the logic does not go to the "ELSE --:DUMMY_DATE_RECEIVED_POS IS NOT NULL" section? It actually went to the "IF :DUMMY_DATE_RECEIVED_POS IS NULL" section. Any ideas?

Thanks Rino.
Your answer got me going one step further. however I am getting an error that page cannot be displayed because of some extra characters added to my URL as followed: http://%%20" (see below).
This is what's showing up as my url in the browser:
http://%%20"http://RZEPHIRW2K.rxsd.corp.numico.com:8888/forms90/f90servlet...."
When I delete the extra characters, everything runs fine but I keep getting into this situation every time I run a form. It's anoying. Do you have any idea.
Thanks,
Rudy
