The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Store Procedure Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string

Asked by datavation in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , , ,

Dear Experts,

I'm trying to create a stored procedure to update a datetime field from 2 input parameters. (The reason it's like this is that I want to enter the start date/time simular to setting an Outlook reminder, where you have a Calendar Selector for the date and a Combo for the Time)

Below is the syntax:

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.dsp_update_works
(
@work_id                              int,
@work_start_date      varchar,
@work_start_time      varchar
)
AS

UPDATE    dtb140_works
SET              work_start = CONVERT(nvarchar(50), @work_start_date, 106) + ' ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(50), @work_start_time, 108)
WHERE     (work_id = @work_id)

IF @@ERROR <> 0
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('Update Works failed.',18,1)
RETURN
END

When I run the sql it works ok. However, when I run it as a Store Procedure it errors with the following error:

Running [dbo].[dsp_update_works] ( @work_id = 2956, @work_start_date = 17/8/06, @work_start_time = 14:00:00 ).

Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
No rows affected.
(0 row(s) returned)
@RETURN_VALUE =
Finished running [dbo].[dsp_update_works].

I've tried various alternatives in variables, but with no success, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Many Thanks.
