Hi,

 

Iam getting error for the below condition

 

where (REQD_DT between '01APR2020'd and '31MAR2021') OR (date1 between '01APR2020'd and '31MAR2021'd)

 

 

ERROR: WHERE clause operator requires compatible variables

 

what is the correct code to compare two date variables with fixed date intervals.
