declare problem

[Jose Lerebours]

Questions:

1. Why hard code like this?
2. Why not use a table where you keep your accounting periods?
3. Why not use eoy() eom() functions to construct your date variable?
4. Have you checked if variable has a different type in "automatic"?  
You do not specify if not using automatic but I think that "automatic" 
overrides ...
5. Is it "pfcmark" or "PFCMARK"? - I think this is case sensitive
