Data base experts,

On files with triggers, it appears as if dates must be valid in the buffer 
before the trigger is fired.  We were hoping to be able to reformat dates 
entered in an invalid format in either the pre-update/write action.  The 
incorrectly formatted date never gets to the trigger.  A date or timestamp 
exception prevents the trigger from executing.  Is there any way around this?  
We do not have control of every application to reformat the date before the 
trigger is fired.

Thanks,

David Morris
