Is Date String A Valid Date?

Hello All!

Is there any way to test whether a date constant/string is a valid date ?

For example, if a constant is assembled as follows :-

{^2001/06/31}

Clearly, this is an invalid date as there are only 30 days in June. To test whether a date string is valid, I could set up an error handler and subject this date string/constant to a date calculation. If it fails, then it is trapped and I have an invalid date.

However, is there a way to do this without an error handler, just using this value in some form of expression that returns True/False or a DateValue/EmptyDateValue or similar ?

Any tips much appreciated.
