No era designation found in DBDATE/GL_DATE string representation of date value

This error occurs because the date string specified does not have a valid era designation, as required by the DBDATE or GL_DATE format string setting. For example, if DBDATE is set to Y2MDE-, but the date string representation specified by the user is 98-12-15, this is an error because there is no era designation at the end of the date string value.

To fix the problem, modify the date string representation to include a valid era designation based on the DBDATE or GL_DATE format string setting. In this example, a date string representation of 98-12-15 AD would probably suffice, depending on the locale.
