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.
