Dear Friends,

I am looking for a function that can tell is the given value is a valid date or a valid format of date.

For example,

if I give date = A or Date = 01-Jan-5a or simple thing like this then it return me a value that can tell me that it is not a valid date.

Regards,
Azam Khan

Let me know if it works.

declare

begin
	select to_date('5a','dd-mon-yyyy') into vd from dual;
exception when others then
	message('Not a valid date');
end;

What is wrong with the default edit handling associated with a 'date' field?
