Dynamic Date display using prompt values in Header

I am using Cognos8.3 Report studio.

I need to display in Header of the report as below

Oct 2007 to Nov 2008

Note : Months and years both are Dynamic.  Depends on prompt values it should change.

The above should be displayed using 2 prompts.

1st prompt :   [OP_FYEAR]  year prompt.  (It’s mandatory prompt)

2nd prompt : [ZVPPER1]  period prompt.  (It’s optional prompt)

It’s date range prompt.

1st prompt Values in database :

Z9/2003 (Z92003)
Z9/2004 (Z92004)

Default value is Period01 (001) I,e., Oct       Default value is Period01 (012) I,e., Sep (next year)

Or by default it will be
