Error: Illegal assignment from Integer to Date

Hi All,
 
     I declared a variable of date type and when i try to assign a value to that variable its throwing the error "Illegal assignment from Integer to Date". The value assigned is
 
       rp.JobStartDate= 11/20/2008; where JobStartDate is of type date.
 
Kindly clarify.
 
Thanks,
Ram

Have you tried something like:

rp.JobStartDate = Date.newInstance(2008,11,20));

 I used date.valueOf(string) function . But the date value is getting added with HH:MM:SS at the end.
How to get them truncated?
                      
             job_Start_Date__c= 2008-11-20 00:00:00 . I need the time to be removed off.
 
Kindly suggest me an idea
Thanks,
Ram

To show it without the hour you can format the date with the the format() method, is based on java SimpleDateFormat:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

DateTimeVariable.format('EEE, d MMM yyyy') --> have to show : Thu, 6 Oct 2008

You can see all the Date and DateTime methods at the apex documentation:

Hope it helps
