Hi Jayasree,

Use Function module <b>DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY</b> to validate a date.

1)If you given a invalidate date then it will ask you to enter a valid date.

2)After changing it to correct value, you can click on SAVE button or if you want to continue with the invalid date then click on USE INVALID VALUE button.

Thanks,

Vinay

Hi Jayashree,

Just define the variable type sy-datum, you needn check at all

DATA: ws_date type sy-datum.

This will display in the format 20.07.2006 but whereas for internal processing it will be as 20060720. So you needn worry while validating.

Reward if helpful.

Hello Jayasree,

If you have the date as an input parameter...it would be better to define it as like sy-datum and it would do the trick. In case you are using a variable which might be getting its values via some ABAP logic..it is better to use the function DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY.

I hope the above helps !!
