Convert Sub-Report to Crystal Command

Question

I'm attempting to convert a sub-report and a shared variable from the report to a Command.
Can someone help with the conversion
Here is the part of the Crystal SQL I can't convert
This is within last7days >>>  (ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST>={ts '2014-06-18 00:00:00'} AND ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST<{ts '2014-06-25 00:00:00'})
AND ((ORDER_PROC.RESULT_TIME IS  NULL ) OR (ORDER_PROC.RESULT_TIME>=ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST))
ORDER BY ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST
Here is the code for the shared variable
if (not isnull({ORDER_PROC_3.FREQ_UNSCHEDULED_C}) and {ORDER_PROC_3.FREQ_UNSCHEDULED_C}=1 ) then {ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST}
else {ORDER_PROC.PROC_START_TIME}
Thanks

hi Steve,
you'd need to give us some info...what database are you using? Commands use syntax native to your database.
are you trying to get the last 7 days instead of a hard coded date range?
the following may take care of the date range and the null should you be using sql server..not sure though as i don't have the db to check against. i would suggest that you search a forum for your database for the correct syntax though.
WHERE
DATEDIFF(DAY,ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST, GETDATE()) <= 7
AND
     ISNULL(ORDER_PROC.RESULT_TIME)
     OR
     ORDER_PROC.RESULT_TIME>=ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST
ORDER BY
ORDER_PROC.ORDER_INST
also you can't use a Shared Variable directly in a command object but you can certainly pass it in via a sub-report link. what is the variable supposed to do in the command? suggest that you create a Parameter in the command object and then link the subreport from your main report to the command parameter.
