    This syntax

    SET @sql = 'SELECT * FROM <sometable> WHERE dateadd(hh, ''' + @tzoffset + '''), END_DATETIME) BETWEEN ''' + @StartDate + ''' AND ''' + @EndDate + ''''

    returns this error

    Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT * FROM <sometable> WHERE dateadd(hh, '' to data type int.

    How do I get around this?

    Why do you need this to be dynamic SQL? You're not dynamically changing anything that requires dynamic SQL unless you're changing <sometable> to something else.

    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.
