  Afternoon,

  I'm working on encoding a json token and I'm getting this - "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"

  Ex:

  --2016 compatibility

  declare @data varbinary(max)

  declare @base64string varchar(max)

  select @data = convert(varbinary(max), '{"note":"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS...","iat":' + getdate() + ', "valid":"true"}');

  select @base64string = cast('' as xml).value('xs:base64Binary(sql:variable(''@data''))', 'varchar(max)')

  Any help,

  Thanks!

  You need to explicitly convert getdate(), for example:

  CONVERT(CHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
