HI Guru's,

Is there a function module or something else which allows to check if a date from a file is valid?

Hi,

Try This

DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY

CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY'

EXPORTING

DATE = W_BLDAT

EXCEPTIONS

PLAUSIBILITY_CHECK_FAILED = 1.

the FM 'DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY' is used to check the validity for date.

u can also chk 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

funny, but it works:

DATA: date TYPE d.

date = '20090231'.
SUBTRACT 1 FROM date.
IF date IS INITIAL.
  WRITE: 'invalid date'.
ENDIF.
