Hi all,

I would like to compare two time and date fields by considering only the 
dates (First 8 characters). I am developing an application and I need to 
see when there is a conflic in my change request schema. Basicly, I am 
creating a Change-Request from an application and I would like to go over 
all those that are already created(and not closed obviously) to see if any 
of them is planned to be performed during the same day and on the same 
server.

I am looking for something like this (Set field Qualification):
leftc ($plannedDate$, 8) =leftc('plannedDate', 8) and $ServerName$ 
= 'ServerName'AND ( 'Entry-Id' != $LASTID$)

The qualification above does not work because I can only use the LEFTC 
function in the result value and not the qualification. Therefore, I have 
created another set field just to use the LEFTC for the $plannedDate$ in 
order to have just the date. Then I tried the following:

( $Server Name$ = 'Server Name') AND ( 'Entry-Id' != $LASTID$) AND 
( 'Date/Time of Change' LIKE (( "%"  + $plannedDate(DateOnly)$) +  "%" ))

This qualification does not work either because I cannot use the LIKE 
function on a Date and Time field. I do not want to separate the field into 
two field (Date in one field and time in another one).

A suggestion would be appreciated.
