Hi all,
I am using an existing macro code from another program but I am getting error. I am not sure what is wrong with the macro. Could you please look at the macro and suggest how to correct it?

You have not assigned a value to REP_DATE_START_END and so you cannot use it in INTNX.
Perhaps you mean to use another macro variable with a similar name that does have a value?
Starting at the top,
WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference REP_DATE_START_END not resolved.
WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference REP_DATE_START_END not resolved.
No where in the code is that macro variable defined, so it comes from another part of the process. Back up and check that process and ensure the macro variable is created correctly.
