We use this common procedure to validate any type of dates in our application. All we do is move the screen filed/database file field (namely,date field) to a temporary variable WS-T-VALIDATION DATE (of type and length 8S0). This variable WS-T-VALIDATION-DATE should be sent in the format DDMMYYYY. (Hint: Use some temporary numeric data structures and pass the date to be validated in DDMMYYYY format.) The rest of the processing will be taken care of by the procedure. Take care to declare the following variables in the working storage section: 01 WS-T-VALIDATE-DATE. 05 WS-T-VALIDATE-YEAR PIC 9(4). 05 WS-T-VALIDATE-MONTH PIC 9(2). 05 WS-T-VALIDATE-DAY PIC 9(2). 01 WS-T-VALIDATE-DATE-II. 05 WS-T-VALIDATE-DAY-II PIC 9(2). 05 WS-T-VALIDATE-MONTH-II PIC 9(2). 05 WS-T-VALIDATE-YEAR-II PIC 9(4). 01 WS-T-VALIDATION-YEAR. 05 WS-T-VALID-MONTH-DAY PIC 9(6). 05 WS-T-VALID-SHRT-YER PIC 9(2). 05 WS-T-VALID-SHRT-YER PIC 9(2). 01 WS-T-VALID-CENT. 05 WS-T-VALID-CENT-MTH-DAY PIC 9(4). 05 WS-T-VALID-CENT-CENT PIC 9(2). 05 WS-T-VALID-CENT-YEAR PIC 9(2). 01 WS-T-SYSTEM-DATE PIC 9(6). 01 WS-T-VALIDATION-DATE PIC 9(8). 01 WS-T-QUOTIENT PIC 9(3) COMP-3. 01 WS-T-REMAINDER PIC 9(1) COMP-3. We have a flag WS-T-VALIDATION-ERROR-FLAG to track any errors down the line. Initialize this flag to blanks. Invoke the routine in the attachment. If there is error, WS-T-VALIDATION-ERROR-FLAG will be set on. Hope this helps you...
