Hi all,
Help me please,

Is your query a T-SQL statement?

SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE(),'dd-MM-yyyy') is one way to do it - there are others.

I'd remove the formatting of the date from the ORDER BY - just ordering by the unformatted date would do the task just as well.

That was just an example, using a SQL Server date function.

What does FORMAT(create_dtim,'dd-MM-yyyy')do?

You may be best posting this on an IBM Informix forum instead of a Microsoft SQL Server forum.

Just so you know, FORMAT is 44 times slower than either CAST or CONVERT.

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.

The error your getting is an Informix error not a Microsoft SQL Server error.

I would suggest posting this on an Informix forum or taking a look in the informix documentation on converting date time fields.

I don't even know how to spell "Informix". This is a Microsoft SQL Server site. As others have stated, you should probably look for an "Informix" site/forum to get help with this problem.

Still searching...

TO_CHAR(create_dtim, '%m-%d-%y')

Returns the strange error:

ERROR [HY000] [INTERSOLV][ODBC Informix driver][Informix]Unknown error message -19828.

TO_CHAR is an Oracle SQL function. This is a SQL Server forum.

If you're querying a SQL Server 2008 database (assumption based on the forum this question is posted in) then try CAST or CONVERT.

Looking at your error, I've never heard of using an Informix ODBC driver to access SQL Server before. If you're trying to query something other than SQL Server, then I suggest you look for a forum devoted to the appropriate database.
