J,

GETDATE function does not accept pre-defined variables; it only
returns the selected date into a variable.

Here's an eloquent way to achieve the same goal using Custom
Form with Variable Date/Time Picker in R:BASE 7.1 for Windows.

http://www.razzak.com/SampleApplications/GetDatesForm.zip

Steps:

01. Unzip GetDatesForm.zip in sample ConComp database directory
    For example: C:\RBTI\RBG7\Samples\ConComp

    Files:
    GetDatesForm.FRM
    GetDatesForm.LOB
    GetDatesForm.RMD

02. Start RBG7 (Update 78 or higher)
    Switch the default directory to C:\RBTI\RBG7\Samples\ConComp
    CONNECT ConComp

03. At the R> Prompt:

    RUN GetDatesForm.FRM
    -- That will load GetDatesForm form

    RUN GetDatesForm.RMD
    -- Will demonstrate the technique of getting Start/End Date

Feel free to make any modifications to meet your needs.

Enjoy and make sure to have fun!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
