>>> :basic_block.c_per is a date field and formatted as 'yyyy-mm-dd'
no
a date does not have a format
text has a format.
>>> that one doesnt work also
I gave 4 options, which "one" ?
and "doesn't work" in what way?

i didnt see your update for the comment
this one now works
begd := trunc(:BASIC_BLOCK.c_per,'
but in the query , it required to be formatted as : yyyy-mm-dd
the form doesnt accept it

in the form you are typing in text, that text must have a format, and then the form converts the text by that format into a date.

So , what would be the formula looks like ?
You have it already, since :basic_block.c_per is a date
begd := trunc(:BASIC_BLOCK.c_per,'
begd := trunc(:BASIC_BLOCK.c_per,'
