Hi @Jaganmohan 

 

The syntax that you'll need to use is dependent on the backend database that you're accessing.  For example SQL Server uses datefield>='2021-01-02' and datefield<='2021-01-03' whereas oracle uses datefield between TO_DATE('2021-01-02', 'YYYY-MM-DD') and TO_DATE('2021-01-03', 'YYYY-MM-DD') Once you have the syntax correct, use a couple of Date interface tools and have the action tools replace 2021-01-02 with the value from the start date interface tool and 2021-01-03 with the end date, as @christine_assaad showed above.
