As Raj already stated, a trunc will help.
Personally, I don't like implicit date conversions. eg. use to_date() to ensure
that the date format you are using will work.

List,
I am trying to do an export query with a date field. I have tired different
syntax. I know there are 500+ records with a date of 11/06/2003 in this
table. What is wrong with my query since it returns no records? I have
done this with character fields with no problem. What am I missing in the
date syntax?
$exp user/pwd file=test.dmp log=test.log tables=processing_messages
query=\"where message_date=to_date\(\'11/06/2003\'\,
\'MM/DD/YYYY\'\)\"
example output:
Export: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Thu Nov 6 15:30:21 2003
