Handling DATE and TIME in SELECT Statment

Question

Hey pros,
I have this problem where I want to execute a select query based on date and time, but I want it to be handled in such a way which is better explained with this example:
User enters a date range of Apr. 10 and Apr. 12
User enters a time range of 9:00am - 10:00am
The results I want would be from April 10 9:00am to Apr. 12 10am.
The way I have it working today is that it shows me all data from Apr. 10-12 from 9am-10am on all days.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Here is my code (see the 3rd last and 2nd last line)  Thanks!
SELECT vepowerks vepolgort vepo~matnr
          mara~mtart
          vepovenum vepovepos
          vekperdat vekperuhr vekpstatus vekpexidv
          "gc_bwart as bwart
          vepovemng vepovemeh
          vepo/cwm/vemng vepo/cwm/vemeh
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_tran
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
    FROM vepo
      INNER JOIN vekp ON
          vepovenum = vekpvenum
      INNER JOIN mara ON
          vepomatnr = maramatnr
    WHERE
          vepo~werks = p_werks    AND
          vepo~lgort IN s_lgort   AND
          vepo~matnr IN s_matnr   AND
          vepo~bestq = gc_bestq   AND
          NOT ( vepovemng = 0 AND vepo/cwm/vemng = 0 ) AND
          vekp~status = gc_status AND
          vekp~erdat IN s_erdat   AND
          vekp~eruhr IN s_eruhr   AND
          mara~mtart IN s_mtart.

I think you might just have to select the date range, then do a loop and read table.
select xx where date in date_range from x into table y.
loop at y into wa_y.
  if wa_y-date = lower_date_limit. "this day has the 9am limit
    "only pick those records that have wa_y-time GE 9am.
    <your logic here>
  elseif wa_y-date = upper_date_limit. "this day has teh 12pm limit
    "only pick those records that have wa_y-time LE 12pm.
    <your logic here>
  else. "every day in between the dates
    "get all data no matter what the time is
    <your logic here>
  endif.
I honestly don't know if there is a select-where clause that will do this automatically, but the above solution should work..hope this helps.
