Hi all,

Which function module can use to check the validity of a date? For example, if user key in 20060931 or 20060940, the function module should return the date is invalid. Thanks.

Hi,

of ur using f4 help ie,

<b>another FM is available.</b>

Check this...

DATA: v_date TYPE sydatum.

CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY'
EXPORTING
date = v_date
EXCEPTIONS
plausibility_check_failed = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
WRITE: / 'INvalid date'.
ELSE.
WRITE: / 'Correct date'.
ENDIF.

Hi,

Use the FM:

<b>DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY</b>

Check to see if a date is in a valid format for SAP. Works well when validating dates being passed in from other systems.

Hope it helps.

Reward if helpful.

Hi tan

u meant to say that the user will enter the date in this format

as u quoted like <b>20060940</b> or is it in a text ? "--> my assumption

or<b> 20060930</b>

just execute the code

note that this Function module takes the input in the format YYYYMMDD

data:  input(8) type c value '20060940',
        H_DATUM_OUTPUT(50)  TYPE C.

        write:/ input.

        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT'
          EXPORTING
           input         = input
         IMPORTING
           OUTPUT        =  H_DATUM_OUTPUT.

           if h_datum_output eq ' '.
           write:/ 'Invalid date format' .
           else.
           write:/ 'Valid date format' .
           endif.

by changing the date value,

check this also.

input(8) type c value '20060930'

input(8) type c value '20060931'

o/p is fine .

hope this helps regards,

vijay.
