Looking at the documentation, the from_date and to_date should be in

quote:

I, P, or A format with date display options.I6xxx or I8xxx where xxx corresponds to the specified function (DMY, YMD, or MDY).

So try changing your define as follows:

 
SDA/A6YMD=EDIT(STR_DATE,'$$99$$$$')|EDIT(STR_DATE,'$$$$99$$')|EDIT(STR_DATE,'$$$$$$99');
EDA/A6YMD=EDIT(END_DATE,'$$99$$$$')|EDIT(END_DATE,'$$$$99$$')|EDIT(END_DATE,'$$$$$$99'); 

Are you getting the error when it tries to cun this part of the code?

quote:

 -* extract zero_at_soc_rep table
 TABLE FILE BLZATSOC
 PRINT SOC
 ON TABLE SAVE
 END 

It so, does the table BLZATSOC have data in it?

hi,

Yes getting error for this part of code only and yes BLZATSOC has no data its empty.
As even if its giving me warning its creating the report correctly.
can u help how can we resolve this error

Thanks

What is the purpose of this part of the code. If the file is known to be empty it is of no use and should be removed. Otherwise you need to populate that file with data.
