IsDate will return True if the variable can be converted to a valid date in the specified format. IsDate will often be used before AsDate to better handle potential date errors.
IsDate has many available formats. See the Feature Viewer (F2) or autocomplete in the IDE for additional information.
In this example, IsDate expects a variable the format MMDDYY
If (#Variable.IsDate(MMDDYY) #Date := #Variable.AsDate(MMDDYY) Endif
