Passing in a date into STRQMQRY

Trying to run STRQMQRY from the command line and not a CL.
The QMQRY looks like:
...
  WHERE     DTDATE >= DATE(&PROMPTDATE)
...
where DTDATE is a date field.

If I do a STRQMQRY QMQRY(ROUTINES/SYSDOWNQM1)
and just type in '2003-05-01' when prompted it works.
However if I try
STRQMQRY QMQRY(ROUTINES/SYSDOWNQM1) SETVAR((PROMPTDATE '2003-05-01'))
it pulls in all dates.
