IDAETERR43 - DATE: format has invalid characters

Reason:

The specified date format (output pattern) of a $DATE function contains unrecognized uppercase alphabetics (for example, uppercase characters that are not one of the accepted formats such as M, MM, MONTH, LCMONTH, DD, and so on) or the format contains no valid pattern (for example, all literals). See the CA Ideal Programming Reference Guide.

Action:

Review the date format for misspellings or other invalid uppercase alphabetic characters (A-Z).
