A warning on the market risk: IMA backtesting and P&L_Part 3 - Trading desk general information (MKR IMA2) (OF24.03.01.03) and general information (OF700.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Starting observation date must be after Reporting period start date and before Reporting period end date.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF24.03.01 and OF700.00.01 as reported.
