char to datetime

  • hi guys,

    i'm getting the following error while trying to convert from cahr to datetime

    The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value

    any help please

    thx much

     

  • We can only guess unless you provide the formula in the query and some sample data.

    Here's my guess... you have something in the CHAR column that doesn't translate to a date.  Use ISDATE to find it.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
