Hi,

You can check using the following Code.

Data : w_data(6) type c. "yyyymm

if w_date+4(2) > 12.

message 'Invalid Month' type 'E'.

endif.

Pramod - '2008 ' (two spaces at the end) will pass your code and '2008AA' will cause it to dump.

Is there any standard FM to check the validity?

[Former Member]

Well yes you are right.

I think you can try this.

if w_date4(2) is not initial and w_date4(2) > 12.

message 'Invalid Month' type 'E'.

endif.

Look into this function module "DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY" and you may be required to append day to your input parameter.
