If you've ever needed a convenient and quick way to convert/validate what could possibly be a mm/yy or mm/yyyy date to mm/dd/yyyy (date of month is 01) check out this custom function. Eg: select dbo.datemy('04/02') outputs smalldatetime '2002-04-01 00:00:00'. Select dbo.datemy('04/2002') outputs the same smalldatetime '2002-04-01 00:00:00'.
