  • What causes this issue?

    For the "BETWEEN" operator, the literal must have one of the following
    forms:
    '<(><<)>Text/Numerical Value Lower Bound>' AND '<(><<)>Text/Numerical
    Value Upper Bound>' ("AND" can also be written as "and")
    <(><<)>Numerical Value Lower Bound> AND <(><<)>Numerical Value Upper
    Bound>
    The actual literal argument "&V1&" could not be split by those rules.
    The field type is: &V2& (TEXT = Textual; NUM = Numerical).

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
