Syntax

<Result> = DateTimeValid(<Date/Time>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the date/time is valid.
False otherwise. A date/time is considered as being invalid if:
The "MM" part of the date is not included between "01" and "12".
The "DD" part of the date is not included between "01" and "30", between "01" and "31", between "01" and "28" or between "01" and "29" (according to the specified month).
This date is included between October 5, 1582 (inclusive) and October 14, 1582 (inclusive). Indeed, the calendar changed in the night from October 4th 1582 to October 15th 1582 (Adjustment to the Gregorian calendar: see the notes).

The "MM" part of the time is not included between "00" and "59".
The "SS" part of the time is not included between "00" and "59".
The "CC" part of the time is not item included between "00" and "99".

Remarks

Valid dates/times

If the date/time is before October 4th 1582, this date/time belongs to the Julian calendar. This date/time is valid.
If the date is after October 15th 1582, this date/time belongs to the Gregorian calendar. This date/time is valid.
A year is a leap year if it can be divided by 4, except if the year is also a multiple of 100. The exception concerns the years multiple of 400 that are leap years. For the other years, DateTimeValid returns False for February 29.
Tip: To enter a date/time in correct format, use a Date/Time edit control. In this case, the validity of the date/time is automatically checked.
The storage format allows you to store dates from 01/01/0001 to 12/31/9999.

The calculations performed on the dates/times by the WLanguage functions or by the WLanguage properties are accurate from January 1st 1583.
