		<description>Rose,

&quot;Date&quot; refers to what type of data you&#039;re trying to validate. The IsValid function takes a datatype argument for the first parameter; one of the parameters is Date. Other applicable parameters include &quot;Int32&quot; &quot;Int64&quot; &quot;Decimal[1,2]&quot; Etc. You should remove the brackets around your stage variable cDispDt. I wasn&#039;t very clear when I created this blog post and will be editing it soon. The brackets were intended to serve as placeholders, to wit, &quot;put your variable here.&quot;

I hope this helps. Please feel free to respond and let me know how it goes! :)</description>

		<description>Hi

I took your example and applied it to my code but not sure what &quot;Date&quot; is?

IF NOT(IsValid(&quot;Date&quot;, [cDispDt]))
THEN ‘9999-12-31&#039;
ELSE [cDispDt]

regards,
