Hey, Steve can you throw me a bone here :-)
I still don't see what you are trying to do :-P
R:Base has some function you can use to deal with datetime data type
----
(DEXTRACT(datetime))
Returns the date portion of a value that has a DATETIME data type.
In the following example, the value of vdextract is 06/12/93.
SET VAR vdextract = (DEXTRACT('06/12/93 12:15:30.123'))
----
(TEXTRACT(datetime))
Returns the time portion of DATETIME.
In the following example, the value of vtextract is 12:15:30.123.
SET VAR vtextract = (TEXTRACT('08/09/95 12:15:30.123'))
----
select * from table where (DEXTRACT(DateTimeColumn)) = 'MM/DD/YY'
---
also in my experience with R:Tango you need to treat dates like text and
quote them.

I tried the following with the SGET function.
<@assign local$DateSelect "( (SGET(o1.Ord_OrderNumber,8,1) >= '<@arg
StartYear encoding=sql><@arg StartMonth encoding=sql><@arg StartDay
encoding=sql>') AND ('<@arg EndYear encoding=sql><@arg EndMonth
encoding=sql><@arg EndDay encoding=sql>' <= SGET(o1.Ord_OrderNumber,8,1))
)">
Got the following error:
Syntax is incorrect for the command TEXT
Any ideas?

Subject: Witango-Talk: Probably SQL ?
Win2K Server, R:Tango 2000, R:Base 6.5
I create a field in a table with the following witango code:
<@ASSIGN user$OrderNumber "<@currentdate format=datetime:%Y%m%d><@tstosecs
<@currenttimestamp>>">
Later I want to do a search based strictly on the first 8 characters of the
field. I use the following code to set up the Where variable for DBMS
<@assign local$DateSelect "( (o1.Ord_OrderNumber >= '<@arg StartYear
encoding=sql><@arg StartMonth encoding=sql><@arg StartDay encoding=sql>')
AND ('<@arg EndYear encoding=sql><@arg EndMonth encoding=sql><@arg EndDay
encoding=sql>' <= o1.Ord_OrderNumber) )">
I then use the following in the DBMS:
Where
<@var local$Select encoding=none>
Some how I have to do something with o1.Ord_OrderNumber
Maybe I am going to have to create a field with just the date????
Thanks
