LotusScript search formula - how to get documents created only in the current month?

I am trying to create a SELECT formula for my documents in my search view. It looks like this:

SELECT (Form = "Calculation" & @Created > [09/26/2017])

Every month I need to get documents which were created in the current month each time.

So, in the place of [09/26/2017] I must to put a first day of the current month, almost find the solution but no there yet.

Can you please provide a small solution or advise for this? Thank you!

Update:

This is my last variant:

StartDate := @Today;
StartOfThisMonth := @Date(@Year(StartDate); @Month(StartDate); 1);
SELECT Form = "Sum_access_by_corporations" & @Created >= StartOfThisMonth;

But, as Karl-Henry Martinsson noticed, this is an incorrect solution and I will try to find other solution for this. And I have opened this question again.

Please do not listen to CBlunt, @Today and @Now are killing server performance, as it makes the view index "dirty". It will never be indexed, and the index task will run constantly.

You should never use them in a view selection. The proper way to do it is to have a scheduled agent, which will update a field, indicating if the document should be included in the view or not.
