BIML Parameterized Ole db Source Request

Question

I am creating several SSIS packages with BIML and I need to get data from an OLE DB source between the date interval. Here is the xml that will generate the packages:

<Dataflow Name="DFT Insert into <#=TableName#>">
    <Transformations>
        <OleDbSource Name="Retreive from Source (<#=TableName#>)" ConnectionName="AS400">
            <DirectInput>
                SELECT s.* 
                FROM <#=TableSchema#>.<#=TableName#> s
                WHERE s.date &gt; ? AND s.date &lt;= ?
            </DirectInput>
            <Parameters>
                <Parameter Name="0" VariableName="User.StartDate"/>
                <Parameter Name="1" VariableName="User.MiddleDate"/>
            </Parameters>
        </OleDbSource>

        <OleDbDestination Name="Insert into Destination (<#=TableName#>)" ConnectionName="DB2Mirror" KeepNulls="true" CheckConstraints="false">
            <ExternalTableOutput Table="[<#=TableSchema#>].[<#=TableName#>]" />
        </OleDbDestination>   
    </Transformations>
</Dataflow>

This structure usually works because I already tried it, but with identifiers (int) instead of dates (strings). The error I get when trying to generate a package is as follows:

Could not execute Query on Connection AS400
OleDbCommand.Prepare method requires all variable length parameters to have an explicitly set non-zero Size.

I know that I could create the ssis variable and combine the dates in the query as an expression, but I would like to stick <DirectInput>instead<VariableInput>
