I have Solved the problem with Yours help. 
1. Added "A" to SSK4AYTX          -------->   DATA  145A
2. Replaced RPG with 

                  SETOF                                     99
  *LOVAL    SETLL   SSK4AYP
   *IN99       DOWEQ*OFF
                 .....
                 .....



Thank You For ALL
Regards
Çagatay
