An interval has been created for the characteristic "&V3&" in the form

in the process being terminated.

ways of doing this:
Execute the report again and specify a value for the optional variable
for the characteristic "&V3&", or
Change the form by replacing the non-existent characteristic value "
&V4&" for "&V3&" with an existing one.
