I'm curious what the 'work around' is... everything here (so far) is a proper solution in my mind. What did you try? Do you still need help?

It's not uncommon for things that 'worked' in older versions to stop working in newer ones as they tighten up code or address bugs for things that never really should have worked in the older version. Can you please mark the thread as Resolved using the big button at th top of the screen? Than...

The first 'problem' I see is three dates in two different formats:

last_maint_dt = 2009-06-09

You need to be consistent.

You need a stage variable that is set once and then not touched again after the condition is found to use as your constraint in your main link. Initialize it to a value (say 0) and when your condition is found and it is still 0 set it to 1 else set it to itself. Then you can treat it as a boolean in...
