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.
