0006 - Date Field Does Not Contain a Valid Date - Accept

The date displayed in the message is missing or invalid. Dates must be 4 to 8 characters in length; the month must be from 01 through 12; the day must be valid for the month; and the year/century must be numeric. For example, February 29 is valid only in a leap year; day 31 is valid only for months having 31 days.

This error is generated when the invalid date does NOT result in a fatal error and does NOT cause the record to be placed in hold; otherwise alert 0005 is generated.

Action Required

Review CalSAWS to ensure the date indicated on the message is valid. If invalid, correct the field and resubmit the transaction.
