IDSTPCBD33 - Minimum/maximum-value contains duplicate minus-signs

Reason:

Only one minus-sign is allowed when specifying the value of a numeric field. A field like Social Security Number (composed of numeric digits but often represented with interior minus-signs: for example, 999-99-9999) or dates (often represented as with interior minus signs: for example, MM-DD-YY) must be treated as alphanumeric if the user intends for users to enter data making use of interior minus-signs for punctuation. The minus-sign is not considered a digit separator for purposes of ALLOW-DIGIT-SEP with numeric fields.

Action:

Change the field-type to alpha or remove one or more minus-signs from the minimum/maximum-value specification.
