Firebird is very fussy about the format of date literals. Only mm/dd/yyyy is recognised as a slash-separated date. In this case the overflow occurred because there are not 18 months in a year. (Actually, I don't believe there are 12 months, either, because December comes around much too fast.)

Use 'dd.mm.yyy' or 'dd-MMM-yyyy' (where MMM is English language month abbreviations JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC) or 'yyyymmdd'.

With Dialect 3, you may find also that you need to use CAST with your date literals in some places in your procedure, to correctly cast them as DATE or TIMESTAMP.
