Question

Got following fields in table:

Run Date : 2011-09-25 00:00:00.000

Run Time : 05:00:00

Run Duration : 03:22:51

What I need is in Dateformat

Run Date + Run Time = Start Time of Job (DateTime Format)

Run Date + (Run Time + Run Duration) = End Time of Job (DateTime Format)

I’m struggling to do conversion. Can anyone please help.

This is the STORED PROCEDURE which I’m using – can anyone advise how to monitor this:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sp_listjobrunhistory] @dateparam DATETIME,
@JobName VARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT –sysjobhistory.server,
sysjobs.name
AS
job_name,
CASE sysjobhistory.run_status
WHEN 0 THEN ‘Failed’
WHEN 1 THEN ‘Succeeded’
ELSE ‘???’
END
AS
run_status,
CAST(
Isnull(Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), run_date), 1, 4) + ‘-‘ +
Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR
(8), run_date), 5, 2) + ‘-‘ +
Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR(
8), run_date), 7, 2), ”) AS DATETIME)
AS
[Run DATE],

         Isnull(Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR(7), run_time+1000000), 2, 2) + ':'
                 +
                       Substring(CONVERT(VARCHAR(7), run_time+1000000), 4, 2
                        )
                +
                ':' +

         AS

  WHERE  sysjobhistory.run_date <= Datepart(yyyy, @dateparam) * 10000 +
                                         Datepart(mm, @dateparam) * 100 +

         AND sysjobs.name = @JobName --remove this line if you want to show all jobs for the specified day
  ORDER  BY instance_id DESC

In SQL Server 2008, no conversion is required.

declare @T table
(
  RunDate datetime,
  RunTime time,
  RunDuration time
)

insert into @T values('2011-09-25 00:00:00.000', '05:00:00', '03:22:51')

select RunDate + RunTime as StartTimeOfJob,
       RunDate + RunTime + RunDuration as EndTimeOfJob
from @T

And in versions before 2008 it could be like this.

declare @T table
(
  RunDate datetime,
  RunTime varchar(8),
  RunDuration varchar(8)
)

insert into @T values(
'2011-09-25 00:00:00.000',
'05:00:00',
'03:22:51')

select RunDate + RunTime as StartTimeOfJob,
       RunDate + RunTime + RunDuration as EndTimeOfJob
from @T

Ooops. No conversions needed there either.
