  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS073 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an issue with the date handling in a query that uses a CDS (Core Data Services) view. This error indicates that the system cannot interpret a specified value as a valid date for the query key date.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Date Format: The value provided in the WHERE clause may not be in a recognized date format. This can happen if the date is in a string format that does not conform to the expected date format.
  Missing Date Value: The query might be expecting a date value that is not being provided, leading to the inability to interpret the key date.
  Data Type Mismatch: The field being used in the WHERE clause may not be of the correct data type (e.g., using a string instead of a date).
  Incorrect Query Key Date: The query might be configured to use a key date that is not properly defined or does not exist in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Date Format: Ensure that the date values being passed in the WHERE clause are in the correct format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD). Adjust the format if necessary.
  Provide Valid Date Values: Make sure that all required date parameters are being provided and that they are valid dates.
  Review Data Types: Verify that the fields used in the WHERE clause are of the correct data type. If a date field is expected, ensure that the input is indeed a date.
  Adjust Query Configuration: If the query is using a key date that is not defined, check the query settings and ensure that the key date is correctly configured in the query definition.
  Debugging: Use transaction codes like RSRT (Query Monitor) to analyze the query and see the exact values being passed. This can help identify where the issue lies.
