I have two variables StartTimeStmp and EndTimeStmp, i am going to assign the Start timestamp to it based on Last Successful Job Runtime and EndTimeStamp would be current time of system.

SET StartTimeStmp = '2022-03-24 15:40:00.000';

SET EndTimeStmp = '2022-03-24 20:00:00.000';

I need to pass these two variables to Query String defined in a cell. How to pass these Values. The following is not a complete Query. Just snippet of query.

qrystr=('''

SELECT *

FROM (

SELECT 

 CI.CORPORATE_ITEM_INTEGRATION_ID , CI.CORPORATE_ITEM_CD where CI.DW_CREATE_TS < '2022-02-23 20:00:00.000'  ) ''')
