  Solution:
  
  Check Date Values: Review the values for DEPTYDA (start date) and END_DATE (end date) in the relevant transaction or data entry screen. Ensure that the start date is earlier than the end date.
  Correct Data Entry: If the dates are incorrect, update the start date to a value that is earlier than the end date.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in the data entry process to prevent users from entering invalid date ranges.
  Review Migration Scripts: If this error arises during data migration, review the scripts or processes used to ensure that they correctly set the date values.
