    from tb_oper
    where (oper_id=3050 or (oper_id=3014 and svc_id not in (select soc_id from tb_soc)) or (oper_id=3015 and svc_id not in
    (select soc_id from tb_soc)))
    and TO_CHAR(op_date, 'MM-dd-yyyy') >= '$P!{fromDate}'and TO_CHAR(op_date, 'MM-dd-yyyy') <= '$P!{toDate}'group by TO_CHAR(op_date, 'MM-dd-yyyy'), svc_id

    Does '$P!{fromDate}' include the year component? I guessing that it does not. Also you should use between as in
    WHERE mydate between SYSDATE-14 and SYSDATE;

    1) You should always compare DATES to DATES, do not convert to character
    2) This: "TO_CHAR(op_date, 'MM-dd-yyyy') >= " will compare the month first, day next and finally the year. Therefore '06/17/2013' will be greater than '06/01/2014'


    Don't know what "$P!{fromDate}" means, but if is a character representation of a date, you should modify your query to something like this:
    Code:
    SELECT . . . 
    . . .  E t c  . . .
      AND op_date >= TO_DATE('$P!{fromDate}','MM/DD/YYYY') 
        AND op_date <= TO_DATE('$P!{fromDate}','MM/DD/YYYY')
    GROUP BY op_date, svc_id
