dates validation

hi,

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = file_date

IMPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = l_date

EXCEPTIONS

DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

date is invalid

ENDIF.

u can use FM DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY

rgds,

PJ

You can call the FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL' as described by sasi earlier, and if the FM returns an error, you can send that record to the corresponding error table that you maintain.

This is what you would have to do:

if sy-subrc <> 0.

<move record to error itab>

endif.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ateeq,

Try this...

data: lv_date type sy-datum,
      lv_msg(50) type c.
lv_date = '20051314'.

CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY'
  EXPORTING
    DATE                            = lv_date
 EXCEPTIONS
   PLAUSIBILITY_CHECK_FAILED       = 1
   OTHERS                          = 2
          .
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4 into lv_msg.
 write: lv_msg.
ENDIF.

The above said FM is used to check whether the date is valid or not.

As sasikumar said you can also use the FM, 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL' to check the validity of date.

hope this might help you.

Regards,

Phani
