RE: JDBC_PrepStmt and SQL Server

Scott,
Thanks for the response. I'm on the right track now.
I did realize it was a syntax error, but I guess I was so caught up in
trying to figure what the select statement looks like after it performs
the JDBC_setString, that I just couldn't see the simple error.
The statement should have been convert(char(10), logdate, 120)
It would still be nice to see what stmt is in the following:
JDBC_ExecPrepQry(stmt). Is this possible?

As far as the convert and char function goes the idea is to pull the
date out of a date/time field to select only records between a date
range. Although now I might need to check records between a date and
time range now.

Anyway, thanks again.
Mike

Hi Mike,

The error says that you have a syntax error in your SQL statement.
That's what it means by "Incorrect syntax". To help you further
localize the error, it tells you that the error is "near logdate".

Here's the statement you posted:

select * from serviceCards_log where convert(char(10,logdate,120) > ?

'logdate' is part of the WHERE clause. Let's look at that more
carefully:

convert(char(10,logdate,120) > ?

I notice that you are missing a parenthesis here... the CHAR() function
only takes one parameter, and the way you have it coded, it has 3
parameters (10, logdate, 120). And the convert() function has no
closing parenth at all.

I'm not familiar with CONVERT, so I'm not totally sure what you're
trying to do... but hopefully you can see the problem, now?

JDBC_setString(stmt: 1: begdate);

Temporarily I've set the field begdate = '2010-01-01'

This is the error I receive
Message . . . . : Java exception received when calling Java

How do i debug this to see what the JDBC_ExecPrepQry(stmt) is trying

to

execute.?
I'm really not sure if I have the convert setup correctly or if that

is

the best way to extract the date from the date/time field.


Thanks
Mike
