When i execute the code its creating a short dump and the message is :
The current ABAP/4 program attempted to execute an ABAP/4 Open SQL
statement in which the WHERE condition contains an IN itab operator.
The IN itab operator is used with internal tables which
have the following structure:
SIGN(1) OPTION(2) LOW LIKE db_field HIGH LIKE db_field
The OPTION column should contain only one of the following values:
"EQ LE GE CP BT NE LT GT NP NB"
The value " " is not allowed here. Please help me in resolving the error..
Thanks,
Challa

Hi
This will happen when P_DATE_FROM IS INITIAL  AND P_DATE_TO IS INITIAL.
You are populating the range table with just sign as 'I' and option is not populated.
change your code to:
WA_DATERANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
iF ( P_DATE_FROM IS INITIAL ) AND ( P_DATE_TO IS INITIAL ).
ELSEIF P_DATE_FROM IS INITIAL.
WA_DATERANGE-OPTION = 'LE'.
MOVE P_DATE_TO TO WA_DATERANGE-LOW.
APPEND WA_DATERANGE TO PRG_DATERANGE.
ELSEIF P_DATE_TO IS INITIAL.
WA_DATERANGE-OPTION = 'GE'.
MOVE P_DATE_FROM TO WA_DATERANGE-LOW.
APPEND WA_DATERANGE TO PRG_DATERANGE.
ELSE.
WA_DATERANGE-OPTION = 'BT'.
MOVE P_DATE_FROM TO WA_DATERANGE-LOW.
MOVE P_DATE_TO TO WA_DATERANGE-HIGH.
APPEND WA_DATERANGE TO PRG_DATERANGE.
ENDIF.
*APPEND WA_DATERANGE TO PRG_DATERANGE.
clear wa_daterange.
