Essbase Studio 11.1.2.1 - restrict/filter based on date

Question

Hi - I am trying to filter hierarchies/data based on date. For example, I am trying to use a user defined table below which runs in TOAD but not in Studio due to the TO_DATE and TO_CHAR functions. Can anyone help so this query runs in Essbase Studio?
SELECT a.business_unit, a.operating_unit, a.fund_code, SUM (a.COST),
c.descr, TO_CHAR (c.acquisition_dt, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), b.begin_depr_fy,
a.CATEGORY, d.ACCOUNT, c.profile_id, e.descr, a.asset_id,
a.project_id, f.project_type, e.setid, a.business_unit || '-' || a.project_id as DrillProjectID
FROM ps_cost a, ps_book b, ps_asset c, ps_dist_tmplln_tbl d, (ps_profile_tbl e LEFT OUTER JOIN ps_project_fs f
ON e.setid = f.setid AND e.profile_id = f.profile_id)
WHERE a.business_unit = b.business_unit
AND a.asset_id = b.asset_id
AND a.book = b.book
AND b.business_unit = c.business_unit
AND b.asset_id = c.asset_id
AND a.book = 'GAAP'
AND d.CATEGORY = a.CATEGORY
AND d.setid = 'TWC01'
AND d.trans_type = 'ADD'
AND d.distribution_type = 'FA'
AND a.accounting_dt <= TO_DATE ('2011-12-31', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
AND e.profile_id = c.profile_id
AND d.ACCOUNT BETWEEN '16000' AND '16999'
AND a.fund_code = '19'
AND d.ACCOUNT = '16320'
AND a.CATEGORY = 'PLANT'
AND a.business_unit = '19510'
AND a.fund_code = '19'
AND c.acquisition_dt <= TO_DATE ('2011-11-30', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
GROUP BY a.business_unit,
a.operating_unit,
a.fund_code,
c.descr,
TO_CHAR (c.acquisition_dt, 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
b.begin_depr_fy,
a.CATEGORY,
d.ACCOUNT,
c.profile_id,
e.descr,
a.asset_id,
a.project_id,
f.project_type,
c.business_unit,
c.asset_id,
e.setid,
e.profile_id
HAVING SUM (a.COST) <> 0 AND SUM (a.COST) <> 0
ORDER BY 1, 2;
