Error while assigning a employee in transaction PTMW

Question

In Transaction PTMW, after i enter a particular employee number in Temporarily insert employees & click enter...i get a error message in bottom.
The error message is " UNABLE TO HANDLE DAY (18.05.2009) IN THE PAST, PERNR: 04002995.
After debugging, i found that the Time Events date is lesser than the Valuation date.
Can some one explain ..what this Valuation date is ? & also pls let me know..wht else could be the reason for this error.
Regards

Change:
resB=`grep '3 fields found: CLUSTER_CD, PRODUCT_DESC, TEAM_CD,' BCVP_Main_Loader.qvw.log | awk '{print $10}'`
to this:
resB=`grep '3 fields found: CLUSTER_CD, PRODUCT_DESC, TEAM_CD,' BCVP_Main_Loader.qvw.log | awk '{print $10}' | tr -d ,`
to drop the comma. Or you could do it in awk(1):
resB=`grep '3 fields found: CLUSTER_CD, PRODUCT_DESC, TEAM_CD,' BCVP_Main_Loader.qvw.log | awk '{ gsub( /,/, "", $10 ); print $10}'`
Or you could to it all in awk(1):
resB=`awk '
/3 fields found: CLUSTER_CD, PRODUCT_DESC, TEAM_CD/ {
gsub( /,/, "", $10 )
print $10
' BCVP_Main_Loader.qvw.log`
(This example was not tested, it's just for a model.)
Someone more of an SQL guru than I can probably tell you how to change your numeric locale to avoid presenting those commas in the first place and avoid the problem.
