i don't think there is a sopecific function for date validness , but using the following date functions we can do that with some codings.

CURRENT-DATE
DATE-OF-INTEGER
DATE-OF-YYYYMMDD
DATEVAL
DATE-OF-INTEGER
DAY-OF-YYYYMMDD
INTEGER-OF-DATE
INTEGER-OF-DAY
UNDATE
WHEN-COMPILED
YEAR-TO-YYYY
YEAR-WINDOW

the name suggests its purpose of work.
