  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Definition of the Parameter:
  
  Go to the relevant view or program where P_KeyDate is defined.
  Ensure that the parameter P_KeyDate is defined with the data type DATS.
  
  
  
  Modify the Data Type:
  
  If the parameter is defined with a different data type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC), change it to DATS.

  Recheck the View:
  
  After making changes, recheck the view to ensure that it compiles without errors.
