Format of Timestamp in WHERE clause

Hi
I want to put a filter on one of the fields (TIMESTAMP) to compare with some values, as shown below:
TABLE FILE ABC
SUM
TEMP_A
BY TEMP_B
BY TEMP_C
WHERE TIMESTAMP GE 'VALUE1' AND TIMESTAMP LE 'VALUE2'

My problem is : what is the format for 'VALUE1' and 'VALUE2'?
We have tried using the following formats within quotes:
2007/02/07 09:09:11.270524
20070207 090911270524
20070207090911270524
ETC.
Please let me know the format for TIMESTAMP which can be used in the WHERE clause.
Also, we tried using WebFOCUS Date-Time conversion functions to get the value of VALUE1 and VALUE2 in SET variables (dialogue manager variables). We were not able to convert the values to SET variables.
Let us know a workaround for the same.

Regards
Syed Arij

Syed :
The easiest solution for you would be to define the TS field as A26 in the MFD and use the 26-byte representation in your WHERE clause.

Please search these forums for "Timestamp" and you will see previous threads that dicussed this topic in good detail.

Syed,

The format for Date-Time values is:
WHERE TRANSDATE GT DT(2000/01/01 02:57:25)
See page 8-20 of WF 7.6 Creating Reports Language Manual.

We've also found that the format varies with the database used. For DB2 it is 2007-01-01 23:59:59.999999
