 * Source File: d:\crm\build\3297\src\platform\include\om\CRM\ContractDetail.inl
 * Line Number: 957



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the contract to which you add the contract line has a range of over 68 years between the Contract Start Date value and the Contract End Date value.

Note This problem does not occur if the date range between the contract start date and the contract end date equals 68 years. This problem occurs only if this date range exceeds 68 years. For example, you experience this problem if the contract date range is 68 years and one day.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, modify the Contract Start Date value or the Contract End Date value so that the date range is 68 years or less.
