Use correct syntax for DSolve

DSolve[{Y'[x] == A*f[x] - B*Y[x], Y[C] == 0}, Y[x], x]


{{Y[x] -> (-E^((-B)*x))*
         (Integrate[A*E^(B*K[1])*
                f[K[1]], {K[1], 1,
                C}] - Integrate[
              A*E^(B*K[1])*f[K[1]],
              {K[1], 1, x}])}}


I also recommend that you avoid using capital letters for, or to start,
user-defined names to avoid potential naming conflicts with Mathematica's
built-in symbols.
