symptom
The Profiles by Creation Date report does not have the option to write a filter from the submittal window.

fix

This report does not presently have filter capabilities as shipped.  To filter the data:

  1. Run the report and specify a file and library name in the "Output file" and "Library" parameters from the submittal window.
  2. Using the file specified in Step 1, create a query. 
  3. Use the following parameters to "Define Result Fields" for the Creation Date in order for it to be in YYMMDD format.
    1. Below the Field column, specify CRTCYMD, below the Expression column, specify (spanning multiple lines) ODCCEN || SUBSTR(ODCDAT,5,2) || SUBSTR(ODCDAT,1,2) || SUBSTR(ODCDAT,3,2), and below the Column Heading column, specify CRT_DAT.  See the example below for how it will look.
    2. Field                  Expression                                                   Column Heading        Len   Dec
      CRTCYMD     ODCCEN || SUBSTR(ODCDAT,5,2)     CRT_DAT
                        || SUBSTR(ODCDAT,1,2) ||    
                          SUBSTR(ODCDAT,3,2)
                                                  
                                                                      

    3. To filter on the creation date, use field CRTCYMD.  For example, to report on profiles created after July 1, 2005, use "Test" value GE (Greater than or equal to) with a value of 1050701  (in century/year/month/day format).  Be sure to enclose the date in single quotation marks.   For profiles created after October 14, 1999, the compare value would be 0991014
