date check

358098Dec 24 2002 — edited Dec 28 2002
is there a function that checks whether a text string is in a valid date format? I have experience with functions called isnumber(), ischar(), isdate().

I am entering a date into a varchar2 field in a table. this is a comments field, which I want to use as a custom date field, but it is giving me an invalid date error. it is table1.comments.
