in netsuite advanced pdf im looking to put an asterisk next to my date in my customer statement if the date has elapsed

Question

In oracle NetSuite advanced pdf I've being trying to put an asterisk next to a date. With the current free marker I have, the calculation for daysoverdue gt 0 does not work. If I were to take out the has content condition in the if statement then it would only error out when I try to print the statement. with the current free marker the else statement is returning. I did test by changing line.datecol in the else statement to see if it would populate the daysoverdue which it did.

<#if line.duedate?is_date_like>
  <#assign d2 = line.duedate?long>
  <#assign daysoverdue = ((.now?date?long - d2) / (24*60*60*1000))?floor>
<#else>
  <#assign d2 = "">
  <#assign daysoverdue = "">
</#if>
    
<tr>
<#if line.datecol?has_content && daysoverdue gt 0>
  <td colspan="3">${line.datecol}* </td>
<#else>
  <td colspan="3">${line.datecol}</td>
</#if>
<td colspan="12">${line.description}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<#if statement.currency == "US Dollar"> <#if line.custbody_mes_invl_end_customer_link?has_content><a href="${line.custbody_mes_invl_end_customer_link}">Pay Invoice</a></#if></#if></td>
<td align="right" colspan="3">${line.charge}</td>
<td align="right" colspan="4">${line.payment}</td>
<td align="right" colspan="4">${line.balance}</td>
</tr>
</#list><!-- end items --></table>
