variable in within a variable help

[hopkinsc]

Hi, i need some help putting a variable into an expression.

In my script i create the following variable..

SET vCurrentYearFiscalStartDate =DATE(FirstDayCurrentFiscalYear);

then also in the script i am using this expression..

LET vItemCount_Listings =

'COUNT({$<
[it_target_type]={"Listings"},
[ld_Dist]={"4"},
[ld_Outlet_Check_Date]={">=01/07/2012 00:00:00"}>}
[ld_Item_Description])';

The above is hard coded with a date (01/07/2012 00:00:00), i want to replace this date with the variable created before it but i cant seem to get it working.

Can anyone help please?
