Passing a range of dates from Visual Composer 7.0 to Bex Analyzer

Question

Dear Experts,
         I created a button in my Visual Composer model that has the following settings:
System action:  Hyperlink
Apply to:  Self
Hyperlink address:  "...QUERY=BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=MBUDAT&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=08/22/2006;08/28/2006"
        Basically, what I need is to pass a range of dates from Visual Composer to Bex Analyzer on the characteristic "MBUDAT".  However, it only brings back the data with those specific dates, not the range.  
      I don't think this is the correct syntax to pass in a range value:  08/22/2006;08/28/2006  Please advise how should I do it. 
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Hi J GOEL,
       Thank you for your quick response.  I created a date range variable ZPSTDAT, and then I passed in the oncatenated value to my Bex query (for this example, let says the From date is 08/22/2006, and the To date is 08/28/2006 ).
      Here's what I passed in into the url:
...QUERY= BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC= ZPSTDAT
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING= 08/22/2006:08/28/2006
   However, it returns all the records, so it seems like it doesn't even accept the range value that I passed into the Bex.  Do you mind to please show me the url you have that pass in the date range.  I just need to see the date range part, not the entire url.
Thanks,
Kevin
