I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
I am trying to concatenate a string to a currency amount so that I can show both in a drop down list box. However when I create the SQL to do this using the Query tool I get a message to say that I must use the Convert funtion to convert the currency amount.Anyone know the SQL syntax for this function as I can seem to get it to work. ThanksPaul
Hi, I have found some ways on using Convert() function for SQL server. But i do not understand some of them. Example: CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),column name,108) What is the 108 for? I see some with 120 and 101. I tried all but only 108 is working for me the way I want..but i do not understand what is that for actually. Can anyone explain it to me? Thank you.
I have found an interesting problem with Convert function. When you Use this function to Convert Datetime to varchar and if the date happens to be 01/01/2000 or higher it return nothing. here is an Example.
CREATE TABLE ABC (Id int, Datein Datetime NOT NULL Default getdate()) GO INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(1,'12/31/1999') INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(2,'12/31/1999') INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(3,'12/31/1999') GO
SELECT * FROM ABC WHERE CONVERT(varchar,DateIn,101) < '01/01/2000' -- This query returns Nothing
SELECT * FROM ABC WHERE DateIn < '01/01/2000 00:00:00' AND DateIn > '12/30/1999 23:59:59'
-- this Query return the 3 row that it is suppose to.
Is there a Fix for this problem that any one know of. Please, Help .. Or else I will have to do this solution for every time I am useing Convert function. Thank You very much for your time. Aziz Vahora

Hi, I succesfully transfered my Access database to MS SQL and tried to run my Visual Basic application I got the following error message: "...Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table SALES, column AMOUNT ...Use the CONVERT function to run this query."
Server: Msg 260, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'Final Project.dbo.Inventory', column 'Unit_Cost'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
I write using the SQL ODBC driver from software into a SLQ table called UPSSHIPMENT the format is as followed: JobNumbervarchar50 Weightreal4 FreightCostvarchar8 TrackingNumbervarchar50 Shipmethodvarchar50 VOIDIDvarchar3
I then have a trigger set to update the PACKAGE table as followed CREATE TRIGGER [UPS] ON dbo.UPSSHIPMENT FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = inserted.WEIGHT, FREIGHTCOST = inserted.FREIGHTCOST, TRACKINGNUMBER = inserted.TRACKINGNUMBER, COMMENTS = inserted.SHIPMETHOD FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'N'
UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = '', FREIGHTCOST = '', TRACKINGNUMBER = '', COMMENTS = 'UPS VOID' FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'Y'
END
The format of the PACKAGE table is as followed Jobnumbervarchar50 FreightCostmoney8 TrackingNumbervarchar50 Commentsvarchar2000 Weightreal4
When the trigger goes off I am getting the following error --------------------------- Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) --------------------------- Error 260: Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'TESTing.dbo.Package', column 'FreightCost'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
How do you use the convert function to change the data before the update?Thank You!
I'm an Access/VB coder by experience and trying to move apps to SQL Server 2000. I have got to grips with the basics of DTS and tables and views and Stored Procedures (to an extent) but now need to upgrade an app that uses a vb function to produce a phased value for a set of budgets.
The VB function looks like this...
--------------------------------- Function calcPercentOfBudget(datFromDate As Date, datToDate As Date, iMonth As Integer, cBudget As Currency) As Currency
Dim iDuration As Integer iDuration = DateDiff("d", datFromDate, datToDate) + 1
' if either date not in current year then 0 (both dates should be in same year) If Year(datFromDate) <> Year(Now) Or Year(datToDate) <> Year(Now) Then calcPercentOfBudget = 0 End If
Dim sRatio As Single, idaysInMonth As Integer, idaysInYear As Integer
' if passed month outside of period then 0 If Not (iMonth >= Month(datFromDate) And iMonth <= Month(datToDate)) Then calcPercentOfBudget = 0 Exit Function End If
idaysInMonth = daysInMonth(iMonth, Year(Now))
'if from date and to date in same month then 100% of budget If Month(datFromDate) = Month(datToDate) Then calcPercentOfBudget = cBudget Exit Function End If
' if passed month in From month then ratio of passed month (caters for 1st day of month - 100%) If Month(datFromDate) = iMonth Then 'calcPercentOfBudget = (idaysInMonth + 1 - Day(datFromDate)) / idaysInYear * cBudget calcPercentOfBudget = (idaysInMonth + 1 - Day(datFromDate)) / iDuration * cBudget Exit Function End If
'if passed month in To month then ratio of passed month (caters for last day of month - 100%) If Month(datToDate) = iMonth Then 'calcPercentOfBudget = Day(datToDate) / idaysInYear * cBudget calcPercentOfBudget = Day(datToDate) / iDuration * cBudget Exit Function End If
' if passed month within period then 100% If iMonth > Month(datFromDate) And iMonth < Month(datToDate) Then 'calcPercentOfBudget = idaysInMonth / idaysInYear * cBudget calcPercentOfBudget = idaysInMonth / iDuration * cBudget Exit Function End If
End Function --------------------------------- Function daysInMonth(iMonth As Integer, iYear As Integer) As Integer
I have a UDF function LastDayInMonth to replace the daysInMonth vb function, and that works fine.
However I'm starting to get frustrated in trying to convert the main VB funciton to a UDF function. This is what I have got to, and as you'll see its totally wrong!...
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[calcPercentOfBudget] (@datFrom as datetime, @datTo as datetime , @iMonth as int, @cBudget as money, @GetDate as datetime) RETURNS money AS BEGIN declare @iDuration int declare @returnvalue money declare @sRatio decimal declare @iDaysInMonth int
set @iDuration = datediff(d, @datFrom, @datTo) set @iDaysinMonth = dbo.LastDayInMonth('1/' + cast(@iMonth as varchar) + '/' + cast(year(@getdate) as varchar))
case when year(@datFrom) <> year(@getdate) or year(@datTo) <> year(@getdate) set @returnvalue = 0 when not(@iMonth >= Month(@datFrom) and @iMonth <= month(@datTo) set @returnvalue 0 when month(@datFrom) = month(@datTo) @set @returnvalue = @cBudget when month(@datFrom) = @iMonth set @returnvalue = (@iDaysInMonth + 1 - day(@datFrom)) / @iDuration * @cBudget when month(@datTo) = @iMonth set @returnvalue = Day(datToDate) / iDuration * cBudget when @iMonth > month(@datFrom) and @iMonth < month(@datTo) set @returnvalue = @iDaysInMonth / @iDuration * @cBudget end
return @returnvalue END
This is my first post to this forum - so any constructive criticism will be welcomed.
Basically, where am I going wrong? - have I got the wrong end of the stick? Have I got the wrong stick? Have I got a stick of dynamite?!

I have a situation where I want to filter records for a given day. Thefield that stores the date/time uses the date() function as a default value,kind of a date/time stamp for the record.The problem is when I want to filter records for a given day instead of adate range. I use the CONVERT function to return just the date part of thefield (101 as a style parameter) and compare that to a start and stop date(both being the same) and I get nothing. The stored procedure is asfollows:Alter Procedure spESEnrollmentCount@StartDate smalldatetime, @StopDate smalldatetimeAsSELECT tblCustomers.CustomerName, tblCostCenters.CostCenter,COUNT(tblESEnrollments.EnrollmentID)AS [Count of Enrollments]FROM tblESEnrollmentsINNER JOIN tblCustomers ON tblESEnrollments.CustID = tblCustomers.CustIDINNER JOIN tblCostCenters ON tblCustomers.CostCenterID =tblCostCenters.CostCenterIDWHERE ( CONVERT(DATETIME, tblESEnrollments.DTStamp, 101) >= @StartDate) AND( CONVERT(DATETIME, tblESEnrollments.DTStamp, 101) <= @StopDate) AND(Rejected = 0)GROUP BY tblCustomers.CustomerName, tblCostCenters.CostCenterIf I put 10/31/06 in for both parameters shouldn't I get records dated10/31/06 if there are some?Thanks,Wes

I have the following code in a stored procedure which needs modification as a result of the change in the input format for display_cur_price_tx field(price range). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ old format for display_cur_price_tx is: $69 - $99
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New format for display_cur_price_tx is: $69-$99 9without the spaces inbetween).
What needs to be new code for sp?
If I still run the old code mentioned above now, I am getting the following error:

Any help on how to modify the above code to suit the new format for price range?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Sheila.
Does anyone have the logic to convert RTF formatted data in a textcolumn into plain ascii text that I can use in a varchar variable orfield?We have an app that allows formatted comments/notes to be stored in aSQL 2000 text column. Ideally, I would like a trigger that would copyany inserted comments into a seperate table, varchar field so thatthese are viewable in other apps that can not display formatted RTF.I would really like the logic to be all SQL based and not have to use aclient app to read/convert/insert the data in a batch mode.
In the code below I want the table to refuse inserts that are duplicate IDs, Users, Addresses and Days. InsertDateTime is a date which has precision to the second. I know I cannot use a primary key without creating another column that converts InsertDateTime to day precision.
With the code below I get an error. Can convert not be used in a constraint? And if so, is there another way that I can do what I'm trying to do without creating a seperate column?
ALTER TABLE exampletable ADD CONSTRAINT unique_submit
I need a way to test if a convert function will work before I process it. if it fails, I want to intercept the error and return my own error to the front end

I do not see the forum for Reporting Services, so I will post this here for now. I have a VB Script that I would like to use as a Function to return the Weekday Name for me in Reporting Services.
[code] Function rDateTime(rDate, rTime)
DIM myDay, myDayName, myMonthName , myYear, myTime DIM myAMPM, myHour, myColon, myMinute
'get AM or PM from the time myAMPM = Right(rTime,2)
'get Hour and Minute myColon = instr(1, rTime, ":",vbBinaryCompare)
IF myColon = 2 THEN myHour = Left(rTime,1) myMinute = Mid(rTime, 3, 2) ELSE myHour = Left(rTime,2) myMinute = Mid(rTime, 4, 2) END IF
'concatenate the time myTime = myHour & ":" & myMinute & " " & myAMPM
'get weekday number myDayName = weekday(rDate)
'convert weekday number to weekday name myDayName = weekdayname(myDayName)
'get the day, e.g. oct 19, 2002, will return 19 myDay = Day(rDate)
'get month number myMonthName = Month(rDate)
'convert month number to month name (abbreviation True) myMonthName = MonthName(myMonthName, True)
How should I use this as a funciton in SQL Server Reporting Services? I think that I need to use a calculated field. Am I correct or what do I need to do to implment this. This code will return the Weekday Name which is what I need.

Hello, Can anyone tell me, how to convert an rtf string to text string using a function in SQL Server? I got a table in SQL Server database with field datatype text(16), which holds an rtf. I've to extract it as a text using a function. thank you,
