Date in a query Statement

Hello,
I have the following sql statement:

SELECT code,fname,lname FROM employee WHERE datestarted = '02/12/2001'

This works fine when executed through dbaccess, but when I use JDBC to get a
ResultSet nothing is returned.
I am using  JDBC.2.21.JC5, my back end eis is Informix Universal server.
Also, the query executes fine when I remove the date part:

SELECT code,fname,lname FROM employee

Can any one tell me what am I doing wrong since I am new to JDBC.

Thanks in advance.
