I need some help using the Y'DATE2' or similar date parameter

We got the following in a sort and have to remember to change it every year to not abend:
Code:

SORT     FIELDS=(59,05,CH,A,       
                  56,03,CH,A,             
                  10,10,CH,A,         
                  01,05,ZD,A,             
                  06,02,Y2C,A,      FISCAL YEAR     
                  08,02,CH,A)       FISCAL MONTH     
 OMIT       COND=(06,02,CH,EQ,C'00',OR,             
                  06,02,CH,EQ,C'05',OR,             
                  06,02,CH,EQ,C'04',OR,             
                  06,02,CH,EQ,C'03',OR,             
                  06,02,CH,EQ,C'02',OR,             
                  06,02,CH,EQ,C'01')                 

I know that we can only handle 38 months data therefor I would like to change it to only include 38 months from current date to prevent me from having to change the sort card every year. Instead of omitting the previous years data I tried to include the date for the 38 months.

I tried the following:
Code:

INCLUDE COND=(06,04,Y2T,GE,Y'DATE2'-38,AND,06.04,Y2T,LE,Y'DATE2')

BUT GOT an data acception error (OC7)

then I try the following:
Code:

INCLUDE COND=(06,04,CH,GE,Y'DATE2'-38,AND,06.04,CH,LE,Y'DATE2')   

BUT get a format incompatible error :
Code:

INCLUDE COND=(06,04,CH,GE,Y'DATE2'-38,AND,06.04,CH,LE,Y'DATE2') 
                                                              *                           
 WER253A  INCLUDE/OMIT FORMATS INCOMPATIBLE                         
INCLUDE COND=(06,04,CH,GE,Y'DATE2'-38,AND,06.04,CH,LE,Y'DATE2')

what I'm I missing I check the manual but cannot find any example ...the date is numeric with yymm format but it seem to sometimes contain zeroes

can anyone please direct me.

prgaj1,

Using my own sample data, I submitted the following and got RC=0 with the expected records in my output.
Code:
//SYSIN DD *                                                       
 SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                 
 INCLUDE COND=(06,04,Y2T,GE,Y'DATE2'-38,AND,06,04,Y2T,LE,Y'DATE2')
/*

Based on the 0C7 you received, I can only assume that you have invalid data in your date field.
