            select startdate, enddate, icbcode
            from ds2icbchg
            where dscmpycode=%d
            order by startdate
            """%companycode
--------> select(startdate, enddate, icbcode)
--------> where(dscmpycode=%d)

In [237]: print query
select(startdate, enddate, icbcode)
            from ds2icbchg
where(dscmpycode=47103)
            order by startdate
