Date related issue - 01/01/1970

Topic by chidambaram CT

I pull the data from third party in the XML format and push those data into service cloud using console app.

I have created Contact custom attribute date field(DOJ). Min limit is 01/01/1902 and  max limit is 17/01/2038.

if DOJ is "01-Jan-1970" in the XML file then null (Empty) value is stored in the service cloud. If DOJ is any other value other than "01-Jan-1970 " then that value is stored in the service cloud.

As I am aware, '01/01/1970' is the min limit for custom date field.

Is this issue is related to data? I am confused with this issue.
