Try this:

[comment] this is so dropdate can be reused in the select query's where
statement [/comment]

[seti dropdate][tag op=time]%Y%M%d[/tag][/set] 

[query list=1
 	table=catalogs
 	st=db
 	sql="UPDATE catalogs
 		SET shipmode = '0', catdropdate = '[scratch dropdate]'
 		WHERE country = 'US' AND show_qty = '1' AND shipmode =
'1' AND completed != '1'
"]


> Also how can I display the rows effected by the UPDATE

Try the following:

[query list=1
 	table=catalogs
 	st=db
 	sql="SELECT * FROM catalogs
 		SET shipmode = '0', catdropdate = '[tag
op=time]%Y%M%d[/tag]'
 		WHERE country = 'US' AND show_qty = '1' AND shipmode =
'0' AND catdropdate='[scratch dropdate]' AND completed != '1'
"]

This will show all rows that were updated on [scratch dropdate].  If you
only want the rows updated in the last UPDATE statement you will need to
modify the catdropdate to hold time as well and then it will show all
records updated at that time.

Good luck,
