Mark and Alan,
newDonor is a java.lang.Long <--- this is not Integer, but Long has a
.compareTo() method as well.
BUT still got same error. Took the advice that perhaps it's a primitive,
went with this: if(newDonor.intGender().intValue() == 0)
...now life is good. The EO has this attribute as a 'Number' - although the
dbase is integer. This probably explains everything.
Thanks for indulging!
