Nothing wrong with the syntax, so you must have values in the column that aren't a valid date value.

Look at the following examples:

DECLARE @lastrundate INT='20130228'

SELECT CONVERT(date, CONVERT(VARchar(18), @lastrundate))

--success

DECLARE @lastrundate INT='20130229'

SELECT CONVERT(date, CONVERT(VARchar(18), @lastrundate))

--failure

You'll need to find the invalid date values before converting.

You need to find the rows that don't convert. Try this out to find the offending rows:

CREATE TABLE #validdatesasints ( date INT PRIMARY KEY )

DECLARE @ValidDateStartValue DATE= '19000101' , --technically speaking you can go to the year 0001, but I wouldn't bother and it makes the lookup table v large

@ValidDateEndValue DATE= '21000101'

--same as above, can go to year 9999, but seems silly

DECLARE @Top INT= DATEDIFF(DAY, @ValidDateStartValue, @ValidDateEndValue) + 1

INSERT INTO #validdatesasints

( date

)

SELECT TOP ( @Top )

CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARCHAR, DATEADD(day,

ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY ( SELECT

NULL

) ) - 1,

@ValidDateStartValue), 112))

FROM master.sys.columns a ,

master.sys.columns b

--find offending rows

SELECT *

FROM [Monitor].[dbo].[Job_Monitor]

WHERE LASTRUNDATE NOT IN ( SELECT date

FROM #validdatesasints )

AND LASTRUNDATE IS NOT NULL

Luis Cazares SSC Guru Points: 183698 More actions · Answer 7

Would this give you a clue?

SELECT CONVERT( date, CONVERT( char(8), NULLIF( Someintdate, 0)))

FROM (VALUES(20130601), (0), (20130515))x(Someintdate)

Wouldnt the LastRunDate be NULL if the job has never been run? which is where you problem maybe.

As a test wrap an ISNULL around the LASTRUNDATE field and set it to 1 then run the query.

Converting NULL values won't fail. There must be non-null int values that are not convertible.

You might need an input style for CONVERT:

;WITH Sampledata AS (

SELECT lastrundate = CAST(20130620 AS INT)

)

SELECT

lastrundate_INT = lastrundate,

lastrundate_CHAR8 = CAST(lastrundate AS CHAR(8)),

lastrundate_DATE = CONVERT(DATE, CAST(lastrundate AS CHAR(8)),112)

FROM Sampledata

For you to have got that error, you must've not run Howard's code correctly.

Try this: -

SELECT *

FROM [Monitor].[dbo].[Job_Monitor]

WHERE LASTRUNDATE NOT IN (

SELECT TOP 73050

CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARCHAR, DATEADD(day, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) - 1, '19000101'), 112))

FROM master.sys.columns a

CROSS JOIN master.sys.columns b

)

AND LASTRUNDATE IS NOT NULL;

That will show you the rows that you can't convert to dates.
