Checking for Date Validity.

I have a character column (txtDate) containing date values. I want to insert records from this column into another column (dtDate) which is of date datatype. I get oracle error messages if 1 of the records has an invalid date. How do I know which row(s) had the invalid date? Is there an oracle function for checking if a date is valid or can I write a select statement?

Thanks in advance for your help.
