What causes this issue?

You have not transferred the correct values for the second argument to
the function. In the first argument, you must transfer a variable for a
time characteristic. In the second argument, either 'S' is transferred
for the start value or 'E' for the end value. For example, if in the
first argument it concerns a variable of the type calendar year with the
value 2000, then the function delivers the value 1.1.2000 if 'S', and
31.12.2000 if 'E' was transferred as the value in the second argument.
