This sort of stuff really gets me!I've been using the DateAdd function in various places to return results from the last 3 months e.g.
Code:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE publicationDate > #" & DateAdd("m",-3,now) & "#"
It's been working fine until today when I get into work and suddenly no records are showing up.If I substitute a date from 3 months ago for the function, the records reappear.
The code generating the page is as follows:
testdate = "1/29/2003 1:00:00 PM"
while count <> 5
testdate = dateadd("n",15,testdate)
response.write testdate & "<br>"
count = count + 1
wend
What is going on there? The times should be incrementing by 15 minute intervals, not 14min and 59 seconds. I have several pages that have suddenly stopped functioning because of this strange date calculating. My web host insists there is nothing wrong with the ASP service.
Im trying to use the DateAdd and Now() functions so that I can specify some sql statements into my access db. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to compare two dates, All I need to see is if the first date is greater than the second date.
I'm fimiliar with how the DateAdd works, I use it often in my SQL Stored Procs, but for ASP it doesnt want to return a value Here's an piece of the code:
If DateAdd(d,DateDiff(d,0,BookingDate),0) > DateAdd(d,DateDiff(d,0,EndDate),0) Then
Flag = 0
Else...
I've also tried just printing out the literal value of the expression but that doesnt return anything either.
Test = Cstr(DateAdd(d,DateDiff(d,0,BookingDate),0))
Response.Write("<b><font color='0000ff'>" & Test & "</font></b>")
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?
I'm trying to code a drop down for a date entry that gives the user the option of the current date plus the dates of the last 7 days.
<%
for i = -7 to -1
Response.write "<option>" & DateAdd(d,i,Date())
& "<option>"
next
%>
Besides this, even the following code generates an error:
Today=Date()
Response.write DateAdd(d,5,Today)
I need to add 1 day to a specific date. The date have is stored in a variable called "DateOld". The value of the variable have this syntax: mm.dd.yyyy. The new date is the variable called "DateNew".
This is my code that dont work:
DateNew = DATEADD(d,1,DateOld)
What is wrong here? I get this error message: Invalid procedure call or argument: 'DATEADD'.
I'm trying to add hours together in the format HH:MM + HH:MM. There doesn't seem to be a functional part of DateAdd that will accomplish this though ?
The calculation is to work out how many hours have been spent on a website so exceeding the 24:00 is fine. Is there another function that would accomplish this?
I need to display on a web page a 7 day week split up into 30 minute blocks.
I have written the code below to do this. No doubt it is a load of rubbish (I know the bit that prints the days of the week is, but I'm not worried about that for the moment, I'm more concerned about getting the times correct).
The problem is that I cannot get it to print out midnight. The day starts at 00:30:00 and ends at 23:30:00.
Looking at the code below, can anyone suggest how I might be able to do this please?
I know I could just type in something like:
<TD>00:00:00 AM</TD> manually, but I want it to go in via a loop so I can compare it against data that will eventually be pulled from a database.
I'm trying to increment between the end of lunch and the end of the day. The code below is returning a datePart of 13 instead of 1 (for 1:00:00 PM) and 14 instead of 2:00:00 PM etc. If response.write just counter2 I get a real hour. how can I return the actual hour datePart?
lunchStart = "12:00:00 PM"
lunchEnd = "1:00:00 PM"
dayEnd = "5:00:00 PM"
counter2 = cdate(lunchEnd)
while counter2 >= cdate(lunchEnd) AND counter2 <= cdate(dayEnd)
response.write datePart("h",counter2)
counter2 = dateAdd("h",1,counter2)
wend
Does any one know how I can use DATEADD and COVERT in the same select statement for retrieving data from a smalldatetime field?
I want to retrieve a date, add a year to it, then convert it to dd/mm/yyyy format without the time showing. It works seperatly EG:
convert date - SELECT adId, CONVERT(CHAR(11),datefrom,103) AS datefrom1 FROM ...
Add date - SELECT adId, DATEADD(year, 1, datefrom) AS dateto FROM....
How do you combine the 2 statements? I have been going slowly mad trying to figure this out
I’m using ASP3.JS and MS-SQL db

I googled this but can't find any related topic.
I want to use the instr function, but return results from it depending on surtain functions, I can't realy explain so I'll show my example:
I have a string in wich some word I want to find might be in diffrent Capital Letters order, I want the Instr function to return all the values of the place of that word (avcourse I'll run a for and increase the starting point of the Instr func until it returns 0). The instinct thought is to use the Lcase or the Ucase functions, but in this case I don't know how to use them. In the same Idea I wanted to use the Instr Func with the trim Func, But Its realy the same principle if I just understood how to do so.
I am trying to call a function in asp to check to see if a varibale has a value stored in it if there is nothing wite the value NA into it. My code is

end function
AccountNo = ""
Name = "sam clowes"
email = ""
AccountNo = (NullValues(AccountNo))
Name = (NullValues(Name))
email = (NullValues(email))
response.Write AccountNo & "<br>"

objXSL.load(Server.MapPath(strStyleSheet))
Response.Write objXML.transformNode(objXSL)
Set objXML = Nothing
Set objXSL = Nothing
End Function
%>

the errors
1. the http:// part
2. and the ? mark
the error message says that the path has been typed wrong.

View Replies View RelatedI know the basic difference between a subroutine and a function is a
subroutine performs a task and a function performs a task and returns a
value. The Call keyword is required when using parens with subs with more
than 1 parameters. Parens around values passed are ByVal vs ByRef and is a
waste of processing if passed ByRef for no reason.
I am told there is no reason to ever use a subroutine as a function can be
used even if it doesn't return a value. While this appears to be true, is
there any reason why it's ever a bad idea to use a function, instead of a
subroutine, that doesn't return a value? Are there memory, performance,
etc. issues?
I am trying to locate information on how to call a sub within VBScript on an
ASP page but I can't locate generic information. What I want to do is
generate a page that will stay up but the information on it will change
based on a series of drop down boxes. I need the first drop down box to call
a second dropped down box based on the state that is chosen then city and so
on.
I have a column in the table which contains 2 full names seperated by "&" (e.g: Joe Smith & Jeff Scott) I want to display only the first names of the whole record in an asp page. Is there an asp function using which i can do this?

I’m trying to do something that I remember as very simple I'm trying to check that the value of a form text box is numerical using the isNaN function. The code I am using is:
<%
quantity = Request.Form("number1")

Response.Write "Your input was not a number"
else
Response.Write "Your input was a number"

All I get is a NaN type mismatch error.
Is there a function to check to see if a string contains a space
Thanks
I was just wondering when using the mid function how does the assigment work when the length is longer then string itself? For example
test = mid(12345, 1, 10)
What would be the end result of test?Would it be 0000012345 or 1234500000 or 12345?
When I create a single character string
var str = "A"
'convert to ascii
num = asc(str)
Response.Write num ' 65 shows up
'when I have a whole string
str = "hello"
str = mid(str, 1, 1) ' return 'h'
num = asc(str)
'I get an error:
Invalid procedure call or argument:'asc'What can be done to fix this?
I've an array to store alphabets, in my code...in a random order. How can i use the Asc() function to get the equivalent Ascii of each alaphabaet of that array....

next
it displays 65, "NOOfElements" times (ascii of A)...on the other hand..i can't write
Response.write Asc(ArrayName(i))
since this shows some error...How can i solve this?
Depending on some situations, I or the user, need to execute a function (e.g., login, sending email, etc...) and then continue from the original place. How can I make one function to be available from any page from my site?
