Question

I have been working on this for several days and tried all the options I could find. I am hoping that someone can clear this up. Within a stored proceedure I am pulling data from JDE into a SQL table. One of the fields is a JDE date field and I need this to go into a SQL table in the datetime format. The date field is IVEFTJ.

I have the follwoing:

SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENQUERY(GDCJDE9PRODR, '
    SELECT 
       IVLITM,
       IVCITM,
       IVEFTJ,
       Convert(datetime,DATEADD(day,[IVEFTJ]-729960,Convert(datetime,"1900-01-01")),103) as BCDAte
FROM 
    PRODDTA.F4104
WHERE
    IVXRT = ''UP'' 
')

Answer 1

You can’t use the SQL functions inside the openquery SQL statement, as this statement is relevant to the database you are selecting rows from. Rather, use the functions in the outer SQL statement, like this:

SELECT DISTINCT 
   IVLITM,
   IVCITM,
   IVEFTJ,
   dateadd(day, convert(int, substring(IVEFTJ, 4, 3)), convert(datetime,convert(varchar(4), convert(int, substring(IVEFTJ, 1, 1))*100 + 1900 + convert(int, substring(IVEFTJ, 2, 2))) + '-01-01 00:00:00', 121)) as BCDAte 
FROM OPENQUERY(GDCJDE9PRODR, '
SELECT 
   IVLITM,
   IVCITM,
   IVEFTJ,
   IVEFTJ
FROM 
PRODDTA.F4104
WHERE
IVXRT = ''UP'' 
')
