TSQL: datetime from character string error

Question

There are some posts related to this but I\'m so new to TSQL that I cannot make sense of them so please excuse me.

My procedure has:

    BEGIN TRY

              


        

Answer 1

Change CONVERT(DATETIME, @mydate, 102) to CONVERT(DATETIME, @mydate, 100)

or just CONVERT(DATETIME, @mydate)

reference to CAST and CONVERT and http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/datetimeconversion/ on MSDN
