Looks like you are mixing CF and Oracle processing. CreateODBCDate() is a CFML function, it is processed by CF so the data you pass to it must exist within CF, it can't be a database column. For this filtering you need to use Oracle date functions, not CF ones.

This is not going well. Need to run a query returning all events that happened during the 0405 fiscal year (1 August 2004 - 31 July 2005). Realdate is the column in the events table storing the eventdate (format: dd-mmm-yyyy) in a date field in Oracle. Keep getting the error: Variable REALDATE is undefined. And I agree, realdate is not a variable, but that does not help me, as I need to convert the value stored in that column to an odbc date in order to do the 'between' comparison. Can anyone help me?? Please? Gettin' really frustrated!! And I need this to work! Thanks.
