hi harsha

compare from_date with sdate-low

and to_date with sdate_high

like

select * lab lab ....where from_date GE sdate-low and to_date LE sdate-high.

but before using this check if we can compare date fields directly.

else.

If it is not possible at select statement level we can do that in internal table level very easily.
