Details

Using the current location of a previously located word or phrase, this action determines if the characters are in a valid date format and are a valid date. By testing the type of characters recognized in the current word or phrase, it is possible for an application to determine it has located the type of data that is required, and then take subsequent actions based on the result of the test. Regardless of being called at the page or field level, this action operates on the recognized text for the current page.

Attention: This action is dynamic locale aware.

Example

If the located word's recognized value is: 01/01/2003
IsDateValue() returns TRUE

If the located word's recognized value is: January 01,2003
IsDateValue() returns TRUE

If the located word's recognized value is: 13/13/2003
IsDateValue()returns FALSE
