validity

[Former Member]

Hi!

How can I ensure that a date format has

valid format ? A field is populated with

any date. The format is what the user has

been set in his profile. For me now it is

now interesting to ensure that this value

is a valid date format.

Hi,

if you are using select options or a parameter to get the data, then it will validate automaticaly, when you declared for/type sy-datum.

To do it with a char variable, try to declare another type date variable and try to move the value to it.

HI

IS THERE REALLY NO FM AVAILABLE.

IMAGINE I MUST CHECK THIS IF IT IS

VALID IN ORDER TO CALL ANOTHER

FM. IT CAN HAPPEN THAT THIS VALUE

NOT ABLE TO BEEING USED IF IT HASN'T

A ALLOWED DATE FORMAT. GENERALLY

HOW DO YOU SOLVE SUCH PROBLEMS

if you r declaring the field like this ..

data: date type sy-datum. or

data: data like pa0041-dat01.

then it automatically check the values ...no need to check...

but if is a char type then u need to test it ..

Ok, try to do this:

write char_data to d_data.

d_data = d_data - 1.

if d_data is INITIAL.

*Invalid date

endif.

If your char date was invalid, when you decrease by 1, it will be initial. Then you can check it!
