Date Parameter Format Incorrectly Interpreted
Oct 18, 2005Hi,
View 11 RepliesHi,
View 11 RepliesI am having report parameter end date I am showing the default value "5/21/2007 11:59:59 PM" in the end date paramter. And also I want to show date time format "(MM/DD/YYYY HH:MMS)" in the right hand side of the parameter. How to do this?
Thank You
OK, the thread's name is not very self explanatory so here I go:
The fact
I'm working on a simple APP where I store the date of a transaction. I use in my Stored Procedure the getdate() as the default (and untouchable) value for the transaction date
The problem:
These transactions are made all day long and there are transctions made on the morning and afternoon. Now, when I make a report of the transactions for one specific range of days, all the transactions made in the morning of the start date are ignored completely.
Say I have these transactions
TCode TType TDate
45 REQ 03/09/2007 08:20:16 a.m.
46 REQ 03/09/2007 11:59:43 a.m.
47 REQ 03/09/2007 12:01:30 p.m.
48 REQ 03/09/2007 06:01:49 p.m.
and I make this query
SELECT * FROM <Table Name> WHERE TDate BETWEEN <Start Date> AND <End Date>
(where <Start Date> && <End Date> are 03/09/2007 selected from a DateTimePicker control)
I only get these results 47 REQ 03/09/2007 12:01:30 p.m.
48 REQ 03/09/2007 06:01:49 p.m.
if I make a cast as integer I get these results:
TCode TDate TCast
46 2007-09-03 11:59:43.000 39326
47 2007-09-03 12:01:30.000 39327
so my question is
Why are the Morning Transactions from the start date ignored (or interpreted as part of previous day transactions) ?
Hello,
I am using the calender parameter and I need to convert my data date format to the one that matched that is returned on selecting a date from this calender. Can you show me what this format is.
how can I convert my existing date format to this format. The existing date format is 2007-07-26 21:27:13.000

Hi,
How to control the Datetime Parameter's format, such as I need the user input Date and Time, but default, the user can only select date, but can not input the time.
How to solve it?
Thank you.
Hi,
I have some difficulties to format a Date value in my reporting service.
As you know you can use this kind of expression:
=DateTime.Parse(Parameters!ReportingDate.Value).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
But it does not work, and when I just want to use the format property of the textbox content such as "dd/MM/yyyy", it displays "dd/MM/yyyy", not the real formatted data, this property works for "=Today()" but not for parameters and fields. What is the diffrence?
Have you an idea to format a Parameter/Field of Date type such as dd/MM/yyyy?
Many thanks!
Hello,
Basically my situation is the server environment it seems to be all US region. Everything runs well. When local users attempt reports they get the format parameter issue because their machinese are all CDN region.
I've read through this forum and found quite a bit of people with the same issue of formatting the parameter date. And there are a bunch of recommendations for each scenario.
What i'm wondering is.... from all the experience of the users out here who have had that issue...what would be the most recommended way of fixing this issue? Would I change the server environment to CDN region and then change all the reports default language to English(Canada)? Or is there anything else someone might recommend.
I also read about this hotfix: FIX: The calendar control in a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report may display incorrect values http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940382/en-US but not sure if this would fix the problem.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Cheers!
Hi All,
I'm using report with a date parameter (user enters a date) and all transactions before that date are displayed. I don't know how to set parameter date format on the displayed report to dd/mm/yyyy.
If it's not a parameter I usually use sql " convert(varchar(10),datefield,103)" but don't know how to use this with parameter.
Thanks

For some reason a stored procedure which I have created is incorrectlysaving the date to the table. It seems the day and month are beingswapped around e.g. a date which should be the 12th April (12/04/2005)is saving as the 4th December (04/12/2005).The parameter used in the stored procedure comes from a VB6 app, Iamended this so the format was "yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss". The full line in VBbeing,Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("date_of_call", adChar, , 17,Format(firstCallDateTime, "yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss"))When I run my VB app it works fine, the syntax in the stored procedureis,CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spUpdValues@data_id int,@date_of_call datetimeasupdate dataSET date_of_call = CONVERT(char, @date_of_call, 101)where data_id=@data_idIs it because the convert format is using an american date format ? Ican't see why as I can't reproduce this error using my own PC as thedate saves correctly, I can also confirm it's not happening to everybodywho uses the app. If it is happening for specifc users then what couldbe the cause. I've checked Regional Settings and all seems fine there.Any ideas on what could be doing this as I'm struggling to investigateany further.To debug I ran the stored procedure direct, manually inputting thevariable - again no problem. Also, the following SQL statment shows noproblem...declare @date_of_call datetimeset @date_of_call = '20041101 08:30:00'select CONVERT(char, @date_of_call, 101)select CONVERT(char, @date_of_call, 106)------------------------------11/01/2004(1 row(s) affected)------------------------------01 Nov 2004(1 row(s) affected)Any help would be much appreciated.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
Thanks

Dear Expert!
A server with SQL 2005 sp2, Reporting Services and Sharepoint services (ver 3.0) (in integrated mode) gives an odd error. When viewing a Reporting Services report with a Date Time Picker, the date chosen is wrong. The preferred setting is Danish with the date format dd-mm-yyyy. The date picker shows the months in Danish but when selecting a date, and clicking on the Apply-button, the date reformats to US (mm-dd-yyyy).
Example:
When choosing 5th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows in the picker, 9th of May 2007.
When choosing 26th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows, again in US format, the RIGHT date but adds a timestamp 12:00 AM? in the end, making further enquiries to fail.
The report itself receives the right date and shows correctly. The only case it fails is, when the time stamp appears.
The server is a 32-bit one with 4 GB RAM. A testserver with identical collation on the Reportserver database cannot recreate the error. The site containing the reports has been set to Danish in the regional settings. To Reinstall is not an option.
The test report has no database connection whatsoever.
When setting the site to US, the timestamp wont appear at all.
The server has been restarted and the installation procedure was of the simple kind. No special tweaks at all.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi,
A really basic problem in psuedo code...
select * from mytable where email = 'test@go.com'
This throws back:
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string 'test@'.
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'test@'.
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string ''.
Because of the 'go'. Other addresses featuring 'go' suffer the same problem. How do I escape it?
Thanks,

I am using reporting services, when I go to view my report in Report Manager (web browser is IE7), I choose a date from a date picker control, and the date that populates the date field is in US format mm/dd/yyyy, however in my regional settings, although I have English(United States) I have altered my short date format to be dd/mm/yyyy.
Currently my report will display an error saying the date is an invalid format if I pick a date that violates the mm/dd/yyyy format. I want it to display the date format that I have defined in my regional settings, without modifying the 'Language Preference' settings for IE.
The report properties has =User!Language for the 'Language' property.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
dear all can anybody help me soon....

Hi,
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters).
Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension .
Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007".
But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All".
Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
Thanks !

I need to do the following and am hoping someone can help me out.
I have C#(asp.net app) that will call a stored procedure. The C# will pass in a date to thestored procedure. The date is in the format YY/MM/DD. Once inside of the stored procedure, the datepassed into the stored proc needs to be compared to todays date. Todays date must be determined inthe SQL.
So basically here is my pseudo code for what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I just am afterthe comparison of the two values:
If @BeginDate < TodaysDate
The difficult part is how to obtain the value for "TodaysDate"
Taking into consideration that "TodaysDate" should probably be in the format of YY/MM/DD considering that is how the date it is to be compared with is being passed in.
Can someone please code this out for me in Microsoft SQL. I would be forever grateful.
Hi,
I Have this simple convertion in a Script component
Dts.Variables("dateOfProcess").Value = CDate(lineMCF.Substring(30, 2) + "/" + lineMCF.Substring(28, 2) + "/" + lineMCF.Substring(24, 4))
this works fin in my development environment which has a spanish version of SQL Server and uses "DD/MM/YYYY" as date format.
but the production environment has an english version of SQL Server and "MM/DD/YYYY" date format, so the package crashes in this server.
How do I convert the string to date not depending on the SQL server language.
thanks.
I am building a data warehouse. Some of the data comes from an AS 400 EPR system. I used the OLEDB connector when first pulling the data into SQL Server doing simple import data from table option. That worked great for getting the initial data load into SQL Server and creating the base SQL Server tables although it was excruciatingly slow (that was probably due to the transport from the AS 400).
Now, I need to get new records that are added to the AS400 side of things on a daily basis. For that, I was trying to use the OLEDB AS400 connector. However, I found that the OLEDB connector wouldn't work when I was trying to specify an SQL Statement for what to get; i.e., a simple query like Select * from TWLDAT.STKT where BYSDAT >= '2005-01-27' would simply not work. Found articles here explaining that it is probably a problem on the AS400 side of things and where people recommended using an ADO ODBC data reader source for this type of thing. So, I'm trying to implement that. However, I have a huge problem with it.
The original tables that got created were mapped to use NVARCHAR fields for character data. When the ADO ODBC data reader source accesses the AS400 data, it insists on interpreting the string type fields as being unicode strings and giving it a data type of DT_WSTR when what I need it to have is a plain old DT_STR data type. When the strings are interpreted as unicode strings, they cannot be converted in a way that allows the NVARCHAR fields to be filled with the data. The exact error message I get for all the fields that should wind up being nvarchar fields is as follows:
Column "BYStOK" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
Okay, so I try to change the data types in the ADO ODBC data reader to be plain DT_STR data types and I cannot do so.
Does anyone have any idea why the ADO ODBC data reader source insists on interpreting the string data coming from the AS 400 as unicode string data or why it refuses to allow that to be changed to DT_STR data type?
Thanks in advance for any info. By the way, if there is a better way than the ADO ODBC data source to get at this data when I need to specify an SQL command, I would love to hear about it. Not wild about using ODBC in the OLEDB age.

I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate,
convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date
from GLBATCH
Date parameter. I created a report that allows a drop down for a date range to be selected. However, whenever I preview the report, I get an error. I know my error stems from my date fields being in this format "201301" , and the "date/ time" in SSRS being mm/dd/yyyy on the drop down calendar in SSRS.
I know the direction I want to go in, but just a little confused on where would I use the convert or cast function. Would it be in the data parameter itself, or a part of the query before the @start date and @End date?
Hi, We have moved our Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005. A number of the original tables contained MEMO fields and these became nvarchar(MAX) fields in SS 2005. We continue to use the original Access application and therefore have linked the tables to the Access application via ODBC connection. However, the fields that were originally Memo in Access native tables are brought over as TEXT fields (255 char limit) by the linking process.
Is there a way I can link the tables and have those big text fields be Memo fields in the linked tables?? Or is there some way to work around this? (Moving to Access 2007 is not an option at this time.) I would really appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.
But it doesn't explicitly tell wherther Interpreted (disk-based) tables can be accessed by Natively compiled stored procedures.And SQL Server Express edition doesn't allow creating Memory-optimized objects to very this.

Hi all, i am a newbie to reporting services. Hope someone can help me with this date problem.
I have a parameter date which i declared as type string in the report manager. when i entered the date as eg) "31/12/2003" and clicked on the 'preview' tab in the report manager, it gives me error saying that 'Cast from string "31/12/2003" to type 'Date' is not valid.'
So i use the cultureinfo function to set the date to 'en-US' format.... something like the one below:
CStr( Format(DateTime.Parse( Parameters!strDateTo.Value , New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")), "dd-MMM-yyyy"))
This works perfectly in my preview tab. But when i deployed to the server and when viewed on IE, it gives me an error msg -> "#Error" instead. Why is that so??
I have also checked my pc regional settings . It's set to United States and the date format is also "dd/MM/yyyy". Have also checked the settings in the server and it's also set to the same format. But i am still getting this error.
By the way... i am using windows 2003 with SRS 2000 SP2.
Any help will be appreciated. Thks !
