Data Serivces: How to enter Date Values on the Management Console??

Former Member

Hello, I am trying to enter a date on a Global Variable field via the Data Services Management Console and getting an error.

For date variables what's the correct way of entering it via the Management Console ('YYYY.MM.DD')?

In the Designer, I am able to enter the Global Variable in the format above and it works fine. For some reason, not working via the Management Console.

This is the error I am getting when I enter date_from = '2010.11.30' and Date_to = '2010.12.01':

Check and fix the syntax and retry the operation.
