Question

I have a problem in my code and I figure it out:

SELECT
   pono,
   convert(varchar,podate,103) as podate,
   Convert(varchar,validity,103) as validity,
   OriginalPOno, Sitename, Vendorname 
FROM  dbo.tbl_POR_PO_MAIN 
WHERE originalpono not in (select originalpono from tbl_Despatch_POR_PO_Main)
  AND pono not in (select pono from tbl_Despatch_POR_PO_Main)
  AND status=15
  AND (DATEDIFF(day,getdate(),validity)<=1)
ORDER BY sitename, validity, originalpono 

This gives me a following error:

Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.

How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Found this thread:

SQL Server expects dates in the format mm/dd/yyyy so you will need to
convert your date into this format before submitting.

The problem with this error is that if the day value of a date is
<=12, it will automagically be converted to mm/dd/yyyy giving you the
false impression that your code is working. it’s not until the day
hits 13> that the problem raises it’s ugly head.

Sounds like this could be the issue,maby you should take a looka the podate structure.
