  Hi All,

  I need help about the syntax of the sql as below

  When I try to Execute the tsql as below I get the error message

  declare @IlkTarih datetime

  set @IlkTarih='01.01.2008'

  select dateadd(dd,1,convert(datetime,@IlkTarih,103))

  Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 5

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

  Kind regards

  I don't think points are valid date separator for style 103.

  I am able to execute without any problem. I tried on sql server 2005

  See the following code

  declare @a datetime

  set @='01.01.2008'

  select dateadd(dd,1,convert(datetime,@a,103))

  This post is in SQL Server 2000 forum ;).

  I tried it in 2000 and it seems to be working. Is it anything related to SET options (Ansi...) etc although i tried that also.

  I hate cross posting...

  Anyway, like I said on the other forum, the correct date format number is NOT 103... it's 104. Check out Books Online under 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.
