I think you want something like:

yymmdd='040712'
for i in container.picture.objectItems(['DTML Method']):
   sid = str(i[0])
   if yymmdd==sid[5:11]:
      return i[1].title_or_id()

However, this will only return the first instance where the id of the file
object matches the contents of yymmdd. If you want to return all matches
then you need something like:

idlist=[]
yymmdd='040712'
for i in container.picture.objectItems(['DTML Method']):
   sid = str(i[0])
   if yymmdd==sid[5:11]:
      idlist.append( i[1].title_or_id() )

return idlist
