Solution 2

Try:

SQL

SELECT
    *
FROM
    E_EVNT_SMRY_ELM
WHERE
    SAM > 0
And
    MOD_DATE_TIME > _add_days({current_date}, -8)
And
    MOD_DATE_TIME < _add_days({current_date}, -1)

same as above need to be able to set static time to HH24:MI:SS

If you use less than / greater than operators, the time component doesn't matter. "Modified on or before 11:59 PM on Sunday" is equivalent to "modified before midnight on Monday".
