I am Getting the Date header value in the
PDU as 85 01 FF which is invalid date..
I am not able to identify the date value as invalid
while parsing the PDU
Is there any method to identify the Date Value as
wrong?
Thanx in advance

I agree with you that the value of the date that you are receiving is clearly an invalid date.

However, technically the header still would appear to be valid.

The date header is defined as a long-integer. 01 tells you how many bytes there are in the integer ... one ... which I would assume to be FF. This would be interpreted as 255 seconds after 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 GMT or 1970-01-01, 00:04:15 GMT.

I would, of course, assume that this was not what was originally intended. But the structure of the header itself would seem to be valid.
