A8YYMD

A8YYMD means alpha, so try 
STWK3/A8YYMD ='&LASTRUNDATE';

Update your master file, since you've changed the source definition (SQL), your master may not be accurate. Then you'll be able to adjust your defines accordingly.

My master file was updated. the werid thing is
if I do
STWK3/YYMD =&LASTRUNDATE;
STWK4/YYMD=STWK3;
then I got 1901/03/12- which should be 2014-07/11,
if I do STWK3/A8YYMD. I got nothing. it is really frustrating......

What is &LASTRUNDATE value ?

Do
-TYPE &LASTRUNDATE
-EXIT

To see its value when returned from SQL.
