Its working fine now. I have refreshed Data management. There were some sync issue with tables.

remove the filtering, save the expression rule and call it from a different expression rule.
Test the rule and check the output as an expression. There you should be able to see which function is Appian calling to convert your data (ie fv!datetime).

Once you see the function that is using, try to use the same one in your operator.

I have checked this. Its coming out without filtering even coming out with todatestamp(today()) also. I have saved this in DB as timestamp only. Its not working with (>,today()+1,etc) where ever i am trying to fetch data greater then current date.

=a!queryEntity(
entity: cons!TEST,
query: a!query(
logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression(
operator: "AND",
filters: {
if(
ri!dateFlag = "date",
a!queryFilter(
field: "start",
operator: "=",
value: todatetime(
today()
)
),
a!queryFilter(
field: "start",
operator: ">",
value: todatetime(today()+5*day())
)
)
}
),
pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(
startIndex: 1,
batchSize: - 1
)
)
).data

it is difficult to say what is wrong without knowing how you have set-up the CDT, how you have saved the data on the DB and which data is present there.

I would first get the data "start" from the DB without filtering. Then create an expression rule to play with the data and make sure you are handling well the date fields.

But my rule is not working . Can you suggest here why its filtering data for upcoming days. I have correct data in DB . For today() its working fine but whenever i try to fetch today()+1 or the way you suggested both are not working.

if you want to do a date + day you should use the day() funtion

i.e. now() + 7*day() will give you today + 7 days.

Try with this:

Hi Eric, I think you can also use the calendar: forum.appian.com/.../System_Calendar_Settings.html
This way you would be able to achieve much more functionalities.

thanks guys!

Hi erickp,

Rather than adding 1 to "day" inside datetime() function, add 1 directly to the datetime() function directly as shown below. This might solve your problem.

datetime(year(todate("8/31/2016")), month(todate("8/31/2016")), day(todate("8/31/2016")), 13)+1

@erickp fn!eomonth() is one of the ways to determine if the date you are working on with is the last day in that particular month or not. For instance, to derive the current month's last day, use fn!eomonth(fn!today(),0) and similarly you can know the last day of a month of a given date.

For finding the next day, you can use todate() function. like: todate("some date")+1. Eg: todate("8/31/2016")+1 will obviously return Sept 1, not august 32.

You can execute the following to test that the month rollover works as well:
date(2016,8,31) + 1

Have you tried today()+1?

This should handle the case you describe.
