Hi,
I am extracting data from DB2 into SQL server using DTS. We have the data type char(5) in DB2 and int in SQL server.
I tried to give the
select integer(columname) as columname from tablename in data source.
I did parse the query it was Ok but If I tried to execute that giving the following error.
Can you give me your answere for this issue.
---------------------------
Package Error

Error Source : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Error Description : [StarQuest][StarSQL ODBC Driver][DB2]THE VALUE OF A CHARACTER STRING ARGUMENT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE INTEGER FUNCTION

How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
  dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
  * That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.

Hi All I'm getting an error that says that this can't be converted to an integer. Here is the line that gets the error. dt = ((DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa))).ToTable() I have also tried. dt = (DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa); I am programming in VB here is teh rest of my code. Dim EventDataSource1 As New SqlDataSource()EventDataSource1.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ToStringDim dssa As New DataSourceSelectArguments()Dim EventID As String = ""Dim DataView = ""Dim dt As New Data.DataTableDim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ToString())Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT EventID FROM Event WHERE ([StartDate] = @StartDate)", conn)EventDataSource1.SelectCommand = ("SELECT EventID FROM Event WHERE ([StartDate] = @StartDate)")conn.Open()dt = ((DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa))).ToTable()EventID = dt.Rows(0)(0).ToString()EventDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("@StartDate",StartDate)EventID = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
I have the following stored procedure for creating a transaction record and after inserting the record, the transaction id is returned.-----------------------------------------------------DECLARE @TransactionID int <------ INSERT statement (after inserting the record, select the identity ID) ---------> Select @TransactionID = @@Identity RETURN------------------------------------------------------...Dim transactionID As Integerconnection.Open()Dim reader As SqlDataReaderreader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)Dim p3 As New SqlParameter("@TransactionID", SqlDbType.Int)p3.Direction = ParameterDirection.OutputtransactionID = Convert.ToInt16(p3.Value)connection.Close()...I wanna retrieve the transactionID of the newly inserted record so that I can use it in my next step of inserting a new record to another table which has reference to the transactionID as a foreign key. However, I encountered error and suspect that it is due to the conversion of the output to Integer as it worked when I tested using dummy Integers.I tried many different ways of conversion but couldn't resolve the error. Could anyone help?
Hi folks, I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits) expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.) I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g. select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode gives the error Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org as I don't read this board.
hi i want to insert the varchar value inter column, how can i convert the values and insert in to the record if i give direct column name i am getting a message insert into EMP(id) SELECT name from STU

I'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this: Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?

In a table, I store an integer to represent a day of the week (1 = sunday ) and then in procedures, compare that to datepart(dw, getdate()) to do alternative tasks on certain days.
If I have the number 1, is there a built in function to convert that to sunday or should one just write a function to do just that?
declare @found int; set @found = 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId='+0+' and UserId='+171 exec (@found) delete from StickyContent where sid = @found
I need to pass this statement from my UI i.e in a single query. I am getting this error.
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId=' to data type int. "
I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00. example of data: 0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99 222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00 0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89 2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99 00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99 -109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't. i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.
Hi all,I have a column LateHours (Varchar). I want to put it in another table which has Latehours column in Decimal(4,2) Example = +04:33 Should be 4.33 (Only + values) Char to Decimal (4,2) Please Help me,Thanks,Janaka
Hi all, There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false... I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE. Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this? Thanks.
Hi, I have DB2 date value 00000000. If I'm exporting to SQL server using openquery that is automaticaly converting to char of 8 and stored as the same value 00000000. My question is how I can convert them as datetime value in SQL server 2000.?
declare @new table( id int not null identity(1,1), dat char(10)) insert into @new select'111214' union select'121214' select cast(dat as datetime)from @new -----------------------
Select Cast('100.1234' as float)give me the result 100.1234Now when I convert it back to char I want exactly 100.1234Select Convert(char(100),Cast('100.1234' as float))Gives me 100.123 (Here I was expecting 100.1234)When I doSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,4)I get back the result as 100.1234However here I am not sure how many digits do I have after the decimalpoint. If I put some value likeSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,8)I get 0's appended to it, which is again not desired.Thanks in advance,Jai
We have the same database in three different environment. The statement below works just fine in two database environment, but I am getting the error in the third one. All the databases are Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I could not pine point the source of the issue. Please any input that you might be able to provide. Thanks
The issue in simplest from
DECLARE @UDF_Value nvarchar(255)
set @UDF_Value = 111
SELECT CONVERT(money, @UDF_Value)
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
I've been trying to solve this problem or just find an alternative to do this. I have filled a temp table with certain values for all columns except those columns that rely on calculations that need certain cell values from other columns in the temp table. I have a while statement that runs through each cell for one calculation column and this is the code that updates the fields on the calc column:
Code Block EXEC('UPDATE #tblTemp SET #tblTemp.['+@CalcColumns+'] = (CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column1+'] FROM #tblTemp WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''), 0.00)as money) - CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column2+'] FROM #tblTemp WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+''') , 0.00)as money)) WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''')
The problem is that it will not let me convert the two values to money. The error is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
This is necessary to calculate the difference between these two cells from the temp table. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
In VBA, CLng(Now) will return the integer portion of a date CLng(Now) returns 41928, CDate(41928) then returns 10/16/2014. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server that will allow me to convert an integer value to a date?
In short, how can I convert a 100 year date to Gregorian (any format)?
