Hi Guys,
I have to create a montly SQL agent job for Stored Procedure where it can pick dates automatically. I have a stored procedure with two parameters @begindate and @enddate. As this is April, I want this Stored procedure to run for 3 months. Now I am hard coding this, but I want this to change automatically. If it is may, the Procedure should run for Feb, March, and April. Can I create like below
Exec rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity 'Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-3,0)', 'EOMONTH(Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-3,0))'
Exec rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity 'Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-2,0)', 'EOMONTH(Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-2,0))'
Exec rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity 'Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-1,0)', 'EOMONTH(Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-1,0))'
Both parameters @BeginDate DATETIME
,@EndDate DATETIME
But this is giving me the error below :
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity, Line 557
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity, Line 557

How are the parameters for the procedure declared? Are they declared as VARCHAR(somevalue) or as DATETIME?

,@EndDate DATETIME

You can't pass expressions as parameter values. You need to resolve the expression yourself and pass only a single (scalar) value. For example:
DECLARE @start_date date
DECLARE @end_date date
SET @start_date = DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) - 3, 0)
SET @end_date = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) - 2, 0))
EXEC dbo.rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity @start_date, @end_date
SET @start_date = DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) - 2, 0)
SET @end_date = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0))
EXEC dbo.rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity @start_date, @end_date
SET @start_date = DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()) - 1, 0)
SET @end_date = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
EXEC dbo.rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity @start_date, @end_date

It gives me this error now If I declare and set values like above
Msg 134, Level 15, State 1, Line 582
The variable name '@begindate' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Msg 134, Level 15, State 1, Line 590

Could you post the code?

I have to declare the variable only once then it will work.

Declared variables only once, it worked. Thanks
declare @begindate datetime,
@enddate datetime
SET @begindate =Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-3,0)
SET @enddate=EOMONTH(Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-3,0))
Exec rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity @begindate, @enddate
SET @begindate =Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-2,0)
SET @enddate=EOMONTH(Dateadd(month,datediff(month,0,getdate())-2,0))
Exec rpt_MonthlyApprovalsProductivity @begindate, @enddate
