Oscar:

Since dates with dashes or slashes in them need to be enclosed in a quote, that might be your problem. Otherwise the system thinks you are trying to do subtraction or division math.

Try this:

     CREATE TABLE AP2.PRCHSUMM AS
       ( select
     t.cust_id,'''20||substr(rpt_dt,1,2)||'-'||substr(rpt_dt,3,2)||'-01''' as
     RPT_DT, ...
