Hi Friends,

I am trying to call a function (which returns month value when passing date as parameter ) in another query but it is resulting into

Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

select
(CASE WHEN (sht.mode='SI' Or sht.mode='AI') THEN (y3.[M_NAD_IND])
ELSE (y1.[M_NAD_IND])
end)as [Maxdate_Nad_IND],
max(b.shpdate) as [MAX_shpDate],
count(shipment)as Shp_Count

into #maxDate_swift
from allstat b
Left Join nad_new y1 on y1.adrno=b.Shipper
Left Join nad_new y3 on y3.adrno=b.consignee
left join shipmenttype sht on b.[type]=sht.[type]
where b.shpdate between (DATEADD(m, -6, @year + '-' + + '-01'))
and (DATEADD(dd, -1, @year + '-' + 'select * from mon_allstat('+ b.shpdate + ')' + '-01'))
group by (CASE WHEN (sht.mode='SI' Or sht.mode='AI') THEN (y3.[M_NAD_IND])
ELSE (y1.[M_NAD_IND])
end)
--@month

GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

Pls. help Sad

Kindest Regards,

DATEADD(dd, -1, @year + '-' + 'select * from mon_allstat('+ b.shpdate + ')' + '-01')

This isn't valid syntax.

Can you post the structure of function mon_allstat()?

Hi

create FUNCTION mon_allstat(@sdate datetime)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT distinct month(shpdate)as ddate from allstat where
[allstat].shpDate=@sdate
)

Kindest Regards,

Thanks. Resolving the expensive iTVF results in this:

DATEADD(dd, -1, @year + '-' + MONTH(b.shpdate) + '-01')

Can you post the code for populating the variable @year?
