The problem is that you expect four arguments in format to fill the four %L.
You can reuse the two arguments by using %1$L and %2$L for the third and fourth
occurence of %L.
But I don't think you need EXECUTE format() at all. You can instead write
an INSERT SELECT statement and use the plpgsql variables in place of the format
placeholders %L:
INSERT INTO temp_teport_results (month_start_date, no_deleted_cards)
SELECT count(1) FILTER (
WHERE status = 'Undigitized' AND reason IS NULL
AND updated_date BETWEEN current_date AND month_end_date -- uses the variables
)
...
You may want to prefix the variable names with v_ to easily spot them and
reduce the likelyhood of conflicts with column names. Otherwise qualify the
variable names with the procedure name to avoid conflicts. See the docs on
variable substitution:
