Conditional Execution With Null Checking For DateTime Field
Mar 11, 2008
There was a similar question to mine a few time ago about conditional execution, but I'm having some problems with it to which I couldn't find any answer, could anyone help?
My condition is checking if a DateTime from a DB table is null. I use the Execute SQL Task to retrieve the record (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM myTable WHERE conditions = TRUE), then I map 2 fields to their respective global variables.
Then I created the green arrow connector and used a precedence expression based on sucess. I used the expression IsNull(@variable). For some reason, even if the @variable comes as null - I checked the info in the DB - it still comes out as '1999-11-30'
I've looked around and the IsNull method can be used to also change the value in the event of it being null, could it be changing my variables value to this even if I didn't pass that value as a parameter to the function? If so, how else can I test it for null? I've tried "== null", "= null" and even ".equals(null)" - which I know is absurd, but I'm running out of options here...
Could you enlighten me, please???
Thanks in advance!

I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand.
The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value�), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank?
Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks

Hi I'm using DetailView and I have a text box which show the date. I have formated the date as shortDate {0:d} format. I want to insert/update null if that text box is empty.
I have tried putting null value in my Update statement in sqlDataSource. And I'm getting error saying can't convert varchar to smalldatetime.
If I don't set null value as above, some large date (01/01/2033) has been inserted in my database.
Can anyone help me?

I have defined fields in a table as datetime fields and allow nulls. SQL 6.5 is placing 1-Jan-1900 in all of these fields causing me to have to filter out these dates when retrieving a recordset.
How do I get rid of this?
thanks!

Hi there ;
This Problem is goin to make me crazy!
I've got a table with couple of fields, 2 of them are DateTime, in Sql Express 05 .
I used asp.net 2.0 to insert datetime values, directly, using sth like DateTime.Now.ToString() .
i use 2 selects as follows :
1)select * from X where Date1='8/9/2006 11:17:41 AM'
2)select * from X where Date2='8/9/2006 11:17:41 AM'
#1 is OK, but the second one returns a row with all columns set to NULL .
(X is the name of the table)
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have a really simple query which i can't figure out why its not working. I have a table called 'ADMIN' which has a datetime field called 'date_edited'. Because the majority of records have never been edited, i have allowed null values and they are filled with 'NULL' in each record. How ever, when i try:
SELECT * FROM ADMIN WHERE date_edited = NULL
I get no records, but i can see and know i have hundreds! I know i'm doing somthing really stupid, but for life of me can't figure it out! :eek:
thanks

I have a table adapter for one of my SQL2005 tables, and in two different fields I accept a date time. Now 99% of the times, new rows to this table will be filled out using DateTIme.Now(), as a Time Stamp is what I'm going for.
Here is the line of code in question...cops_current_data_adapter.Insert(ProductOrder, Convert.ToInt16(Session["StationId"].ToString()),
PartNumber, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, Convert.ToInt16(qty), 0);
The second DateTime.Now is the one that can be null, and it's throwing a formatting error everytime I try and drop it in there. It's a FormatException, and there's not much more to the example except unhelpful tips like be careful when conveting a string to a dateTime, which I'm not doing. Needless to say for the code to compile, and then throw a Format error at runtime is a bit frustraiting.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated

Hello,I've been searching the web for quite some time to resolve the problemof "1/1/1900" returning in a datetime field in SQL that resulted from ablank (not NULL) value being passed to it through an ASP page.The solution is that a NULL value needs to passed to SQL from ASP.Thats fine...I understand the why the problem is happening and thesolution around it. HOWEVER, I can't seem to get the proper syntax towork in the ASP page. It seems no matter what I try the "1/1/1900"still results. Below are a few variations of the code that I havetried, with the key part being the first section. Does anyone have anysuggestions?!?!?______________cDateClosed = ""If(Request.Form("dateClosed")= "") ThencDateClosed = (NULL)end ifsql="UPDATE rfa SET "&_"dateClosed='"& cDateClosed &"', "&_"where rfaId='"& Request.Form("RFAID")&"'"_____________________________cDateClosed = ""If(Request.Form("dateClosed") <> "") ThencDateClosed = (NULL)end ifsql="UPDATE rfa SET "&_"dateClosed='"& cDateClosed &"', "&_"where rfaId='"& Request.Form("RFAID")&"'"_____________________________cDateClosed = ""If(Request.Form("dateClosed")= "") ThencDateClosed = NULLend ifsql="UPDATE rfa SET "&_"dateClosed='"& cDateClosed &"', "&_"where rfaId='"& Request.Form("RFAID")&"'"_______________Thanks in advance!!!!

Hello everyone,
Is there a way in order to execute a subscribed report based on a certain criteria?
For example, let's say send a report to users when data exist on the report else if no data is returned by the query
executed by the report then it will not send the report to users.
My current situation here is that users tend to say that this should not happen, since no pertinent information is contained in the report, why would they receive email with blank data in it.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

I am converting a DTS package to SSIS.
DTS has the following steps:
1. SQL task that returns a variable ( a count ).
2. ActiveX script:
Function Main()
If DTSGlobalVariables("gsPrevProcessCount").Value > 0 Then
MsgBox "The data for one or more of your members has already been processed. Please review your data files and remove the processed files from the data directory."
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
Else
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End If
End Function
In SSIS, I have an Execute SQL Task that returns a variable PrevProcessedCount. Now, I am stuck. How do I display a message to the user (or maybe just put it in the audit log) and how to I check the variable and stop processing my package?

I have a situation where I'd like to conditionally execute the first task in a package based on the contents of a user variable.
If user variable "Var1" is false I want to begin execution with the first task.
If "Var1" is true I want to begin execution at the second task.
My first thought of course was SequenceContainer, but the same issue would exist for the first task in a SequenceContainer.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

I have basic knowledge of SSIS and will appreciate if some can suggest a way (with example if possible), to solve this problem.
I have an SSIS package that requires execution of another package, lets say B. This I am able to do using the 'Execute package' task. Now, what I really want to do is, I wish to check if a perticular table 'A' has rows that satisfy a given condition. In other words, I wish to execute Package 'B' onle if Table 'A' has rows. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.

I would like an example of checking for NULL within an expression. I don't know the correct syntax. Checking for IsNull is incorrect so is IS Null. Can anyone help me?

Greetings.
I'm trying to conditionally execute a dataflow based on the presence of a data file. If the data file isn't present, I'd like to execute gracefully without error.
Logic is as follows:
If FileExists Then
execute dataflow
Else
exit w/o error
End If
I've got the code ready to go, but I'm not sure how to do this conditional branch logic. Right now, the code calls the Dts.Results.Success / Failure. The problem, however, is Failure is exactly that... which doesn't result in the graceful exit I'm looking for.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What would be an equivalent expression for ISNULL(datafield, 0) for a table/matrix cell? I am using iif( Len().. to find out if there is something in the cell, and displaying zero in the cell if the length of cell item is 0, however am wondering if there is any better/elegant way of doing that?

Hi All
New to SQL / Reporting Services.
I have a text box that displays a percentage (calculated from 2 fields) see below:-
=((100/Count(Fields!PKCallResults.Value, "Sterling_Green_Passed"))*Count(Fields!PKCallResults.Value, "Sterling_Green_Presentations"))/100
I need to only perform this calculation if both fields have a non zero / non Null value, at present I get NAN displayed if the calculation fails.
How do I do this?
Sorry if this is really trivial..but I just cannot find any info on this.
Many thanks
Ed

Hi,
I have to compare a DATETIME Field with '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM". Which is default DATE TIME Value in SQL Server.
I did compare like
TRADEAGREEMENTFROMDATE != (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(DATEPART("mm",(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)"1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM"))
but (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(DATEPART("mm",(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)"1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM")) returns "12/31/1800 12:00:00:AM"
Thanks,

Hi,
I have one dymic report and one of the requirement is that,I want to check whether particular field is present there or not
For e.g In one of the case Fields!Name will come and in other case it won't.
There one dynmic column which calculated values based on all the column.
If I write in value field of this column as follows.[If status = "Name" and Field is not missing then take Name value,if field name is Consumer take value from Consumer and shows it in column.]
=Switch(Fields!portfolio_status.Value="Name",IIF(Fields!IName.IsMissing,"0",Fields!Name.Value)
,Fields!portfolio_status.Value="Consumer",IIF(Fields!Consumer.IsMissing,"0",Fields!Consumer.Value))
In case,portfolio_status doesn't give me value "consumer" then I expect "0" to get printed.Problem here is that IIF expression tries to evaluate Fields!Consumer.Value even if it is not using this value and because of that my calculated column is not working.
I tried IsMissing,IsNothing..Nothing seems work.Basically I want to check if that field is there in result set or not.
IIF(IsNothing(Fields!Consumer),"0",Fields!Consumer.Value)
IIF(Fields!Consumer.Value Is Nothing,"0",Fields!Consumer.Value)
