Hi list!
I'm tying
SELECT name,
DateDiff(Day, CAST (NEXT_RUN_DATE AS VARCHAR(8)), getdate()) as Days,
DateDiff(hour,getdate(),CAST (NEXT_RUN_DATE AS VARCHAR(8)) + CAST (NEXT_RUN_TIME AS VARCHAR(6))) as hours
FROM OpenRowset('SQLOLEDB', 'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes',
'SET fmtonly OFF
exec msdb..sp_help_job ') A
WHERE current_execution_status = 1
But i got message
"Syntax error converting datetime from character string"

Thanks in advance for help.

NEXT_RUN_DATE is int and not datetime and should be converted to datetime.

use something like this :

convert(datetime,substring(cast(run_date as char(8)) ,1,4) + '-' + substring(cast(run_date as char(8)) ,5,2) + '-' + substring(cast(run_date as char(8)) ,7,2)

+ ' ' +

substring(cast(RIGHT(run_time + 1000000,6) as char(6)) ,1,2) + ':' + substring(cast(RIGHT(run_time + 1000000,6) as char(6)) ,3,2) + ':' + substring(cast(RIGHT(run_time + 1000000,6) as char(6)) ,5,2)

&nbsp AS run_DateTime

Could you try this :

SELECT name,

next_run_date,

next_run_time,

DateDiff(Day, CAST (next_run_date AS VARCHAR(8)), getdate()) as Days,

DateDiff(hour,CAST(next_run_date as varchar(8)) + ' ' + right('00' + CAST((next_run_time/10000) as varchar(2)),2) + ':' + right('00' + CAST((next_run_time/ 100) % 100 as varchar(2)),2),getdate()) as Hours

FROM OpenRowset('SQLOLEDB', 'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes',

'SET fmtonly OFF

exec msdb..sp_help_job ') A

WHERE current_execution_status = 1

Thank you very much.

Both versions work fine.

I have only one question.

Why do you use

(RIGHT(run_time + 1000000,6)

or

right('00' + CAST((next_run_time/10000) as varchar(2)),2) ?

I tested and it worked fine without all these manipulations , only with fiield "next_run_time".

There are 6 digits in this field.

You can also try this one...

DateDiff(Day, cast(cast(NEXT_RUN_DATE as varchar(8)) as datetime), getdate()) as Days

and

DateDiff(hour,getdate(), cast(cast(NEXT_RUN_DATE as varchar(8)) as datetime) + cast(reverse(stuff(stuff(reverse(cast(NEXT_RUN_TIME as varchar(6))), 3, 0, ':'), 6, 0, ':')) as datetime ) ) as hours

HTH...

that's to be sure the leading zeroes are in place with hours < 10.
