There's not a one-to-one mapping, and there are a couple different
ways to do it, depending on the circumstances. Dates are easily
ambiguous, so you have to use caution, especially if users may have
different localization settings. My recommendation is to used named
parameters:
ldDate = DATE()
lcSQL = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE invdate = ?ldDate"
lnResult = SQLEXEC(lnHandle, lcSQL)
Alternatively, you can convert the date to a string using the
ODBC-escaped date format:
lcDate = "{d YYYY-MM-DD}" && convert the date as best suits you
lcSQL = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE invdate = " + lcDate
