It is a data type error somewhere in here
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. CAST(DateAdd(day,Days('1/1/'+'200'+Years)
  2. as smalldatetime) as DateStart 
Debug this by removing the wrapper functions and 'seeing' what is there.
Then add a function wrapper at a time and check what is there again. ie
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. day
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Days('1/1/'+'200'+Years) 
then
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DateAdd(day,Days('1/1/'+'200'+Years)as smalldatetime 
then
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. CAST(DateAdd(day,Days('1/1/'+'200'+Years)
  2. as smalldatetime) as DateStart
