I have 2 formats of date fields in 2 seperate tables. Given the selection of P or F
I am attempting to do use the appropriate date range for the where clause:
WHERE 1=1
AND CASE
WHEN FPCH.ProcessedDateKey >= @Beg_Date AND FPCH.ProcessedDateKey <= @End_Date THEN 'P'
WHEN AR.RunCycleDate>= @pBeg_Date AND AR.RunCycleDate<= @pEnd_Date THEN 'F'
END = @DateSolution
AND FPCH.InventoryStatusCode in (97,98)
The P seems to work, but the F doesn't. I'm self taught, and have been programming in other languages for a long time, but I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not sure from just this little bit, but a place to start is that it will never get to F if the test for P comes up true. Case statements stop as soon as they find a true condition.
Also, why have the 1=1 in your Where clause?
I'd most likely rewrite it as:
WHERE
(FPCH.ProcessedDateKey >= @Beg_Date AND FPCH.ProcessedDateKey <= @End_Date and 'P' = @DateSolution
or
AR.RunCycleDate>= @pBeg_Date AND AR.RunCycleDate<= @pEnd_Date and 'F' = @DateSolution)
AND FPCH.InventoryStatusCode in (97,98)
