I can't figure out how to add a date to crystal report condition

Using the following code

Application.BasicFunctions.ReportAddCondition "slxEquipmentExpenseByAPAndTicket:NEEDEDBYDATE", ">", #2015/1/1 12:00 AM#, "DateTime", ""

I get the error 

Error inf formula Record Selection:

'({SLXEQUIPMENTEXPENSEBYAPANDTICKET.NEEDEDBYDATE}>'1/1/2015')'

A date-time is required here.

When i launch the report.  I've tried different date formats and different data types but still can't get it to work.

I am having the same issue trying to pass an integer

Error in formula  Record Selection: 

'({INVTRSLN.STAGEBATCHNUM} = '2')'

A number is required here.

----

    dim intStageBatchNum

    If Application.BasicFunctions.GlobalInfoExists("gStageBatchNum") Then

        intStageBatchNum = Application.BasicFunctions.GlobalInfoFor("gStageBatchNum")

        Application.BasicFunctions.ReportAddCondition "INVTRSLN:STAGEBATCHNUM"," = ", intStageBatchNum , "Integer", ""

    End If
