Date Comparison in BI Publisher Report

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate calendar report from " Daily Calendar View' in Calendar screen.
I have written code to get the "Current Selected date" in the calendar applet and passing it to report using profile Attribute.
I have created I/O and rtf template. I have to add the filter which will compare "Due Date" and "Current Selected date" and display only those activities which are for the current selected date.
My problem is Due date is in "Date Time" Format while Current selected date is in "Date" format.
Condition used in template - <?if:Due = CurrentDate?>
Due - Appointment start date (Date Time format)
CurrentDate - Current selected date in calendar applet (I have converted it to date format before passing it to report).
is there any way by which i can convert date in 'dateTime' fromat to 'Date' format in BI Publisher report.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Dipali
