Frank:
You hit the nail on the head so's to speak:
$DATE$($plannedDate$) = $DATE$('plannedDate') AND ( $Server Name$ = 'Server Name')
should work in this case. However, it would be a good idea if the plannedDate field were actually a date and not a date/time field,

Subject: Re: compare date only from Date&Time fields.
** How about doing a set fields against the two date fields and use the DATE function to convert the date time to just a date. You could store the results of each in either a display only character or date field and then do your comparison.

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.
