Question

DECLARE @FINANCIALYEAR AS varchar(30) DECLARE @FINALFINANCIALYEAR AS int

SELECT @FINANCIALYEAR=CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-2) + \', \' +  
CONVERT(VA         


        

Answer 1

Just check what your variable is after your SELECT:

DECLARE @FINANCIALYEAR AS varchar(30)
DECLARE @FINALFINANCIALYEAR AS int

SELECT @FINANCIALYEAR=CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-2) + ', ' +  
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())-1) + ', ' +  
CONVERT(VARCHAR,YEAR(GETDATE())) 

SELECT @FINANCIALYEAR

The output is:

2008, 2009, 2010

This is clearly NOT a valid INT value - so it's obvious you're getting a conversion error.....
