有效？,（,3,）丙公司能否对乙公司进行追索？,案例分析：,（,1,）该本票为无效票据。,根据我国,票据法,第,76,条规定，本票出票时，必须记载出票日期，该记载事项为绝对必要记载事项，未记载时，本票无效。,因为此时，无法确定提示付款期限，也无法确定票据权利消灭时效期间。本案中，,A,银行出票时，由于疏忽未记载出票日期，,因此，该本票无效。,案例分析：,（,2,）本票上关于提示见票期限的约定无效。,根据我国,票据法,第,79,条规定：“本票自出票日起，付款期限最长不得超过二个月。”当事人约定的提示见票期限超过二个月的，,该约定无效。本案中，本票上记载的提示见票期限为,6,个月，超过了法定的二个月，因此，该约定无效。提示见票期限仍应是二个月。,案例分析：,（,3,）丙公司不能对乙公司进行追索。,根据,票据法,第,80,条规定：“本票的持票人未按照规定期限提示见票的，丧失对出票人以外的前手的追索权。”,本案中丙公司在约定的提示见票期限，即出票日起,6,个月内提示见票，因此，其主张追索权的依据和理由是正确的。,但由于该本票约定的提示见票期限不符合法律规定，所以，其提示见票超过了法定的期限，所以，丙丧失了对乙的追索权,4.2
