DATE/I6YMD = RUNDATE;
BEFORE30DAYS/I6YMD = AYMD(DATE, -30, BEFORE30DAYS);
NEW_TRADE/I6YMD = TRADE_DATE;
END

PrarieTry splitting your Where statment into two separate Where statments...

WHERE NEW_TRADE
How is NEW_TRADE defined as a date? If it is a smart date then make RUNDATE mdyy and just create BEFORE30DAYS as mdyy which is RUNDATE - 30.
If NEW_TRADE is MDYY then should work, but if it is say yymd, then make your dates yymd.
Of course it might be you just need parenthesis in your where statement
WHERE (NEW_TRADE GT BEFORE30DAYS) AND (TRADE_DATE LT DATE);

GinnyJakesAnother thing you might want to do is do your date targets in Dialog Manager. The technique you are using is fine (once you get it to work). However, you wind up recalculating your from and to dates for every row in your input file. That is one inefficiency.
Another is comparing your database fields to a defined field. If you input file is flat or FOCUS, it is no big deal. But if you do that against a relational data source, the WHERE will not be passed to the database and you will get many more rows back that WebFOCUS will have to process. In this case, using the Dialog Manager variables will make those WHERE tests against literals and the WHERE will be passed to the backend.
