I think the reason no one is responding to your posts is that (1) not
many people use the date class (try using the Date class instead)
and (2) you are not providing a small reproduceable example of your
code together with the associated data so no one really knows the 
specifics of your problem.   There is a link to the posting guide
at the bottom of each post.
