Why are you single-quoting StartDate and NumOfDays? Single-quotes are
generally used for string literals (e.g., text and varchar types). If
you are trying to preserve the case of the variable name, you need to
(always) use double-quotes, including when you define them.

Hope this helps a bit. I haven't looked through all of the code, so
there may be other bugs lurking, but this is definitely one of the
problems.
