I knew it would be something simple! Thank you, was probably the only thing I hadn't tried!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to compile a string as part of a select statement in SQL which converts a date time, firstly into the desired date format (103) and then into a VARCHAR for use in the string.<br />
<br />
The following does not work:<br />
<br />
dbo.SHOP_RESOURCE.DESCRIPT<wbr />ION + '-' + dbo.LABOR_TICKET.WORKORDER<wbr />_BASE_ID + '-' + CONVERT (varchar, dbo.LABOR_TICKET.OPERATION<wbr />_SEQ_NO) + '-' + dbo.WORK_ORDER.PART_ID + '-' + <b>CAST(CONVERT (DATETIME, dbo.LABOR_TICKET.TRANSACTI<wbr />ON_DATE, 103) AS VARCHAR)</b><br />
<br />
Would anyone be able to help me out on this one? I'm sure it's going to be something really easy!<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
