Not able to generate query for date

[Ashutosh35]

Need help for generating an encoded query. 

The query which I generated from filter  is 
"requested_for=8cc54160dbd82f4061ca8d37489619e2^state=3^startON2020-08-17@javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2020-08-17','start')@javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2020-08-17','end')"

var requester = "8cc54160dbd82f4061ca8d37489619e2";

var dateCheck = "2020-08-17";

Need help in creating a query where I need to replace the bold items with requester and dateCheck. 

Tried this in background script but always getting the error. The part where I am getting error is in the second and third bold dates. Error - Unexpected token start

var requestor = '8cc54160dbd82f4061ca8d37489619e2'; //sysID of the user
var datecheck = '2020-08-18'; //Date to put
var gr = new GlideRecord("sn_wsd_core_workplace_request"); //Query the table
gr.addEncodedQuery("requested_for="+requestor+"^state=3^startON"+datecheck+"@javascript:gs.dateGenerate("+datecheck+","start")@javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2020-08-17','end')");
gr.query();

while(gr.next()){
gs.print("test");
}
gs.print(gr.getRowCount());

Hi, I don'y think the quotes around +datecheck+ are necessary and effectively make it a string. Try creating a variable and include spacing so you can see clearly and log to review. Replying fron my phone but something like; var theQuery = "requested_for=" + requestor + "^state=3^startON" + datecheck + "@javascript:gs.dateGenerate(" + datecheck + ",'start')@javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2020-08-17','end')"; gr.addEncodeQuery(theQuery);

Hi Ashutosh,

Issue with quotes. Can you try replacing

gr.addEncodedQuery("requested_for="+requestor+"^state=3^startON"+datecheck+"@javascript:gs.dateGenerate("+datecheck+","start")@javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2020-08-17','end')");

with

gr.addEncodedQuery("requested_for="+requestor+"^state=3^startON"+datecheck+"@javascript:gs.dateGenerate("+datecheck+",'start')@javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2020-08-17','end')");
