Hi,
I have another parameter question.
I need create a parameter for users to select the year, then pass the parameter to a store procedure, when the sp invoke a function, then use it as part of datetime.
For example the parameter is @Year, when user select Year2014, integer 14 is passed to the function, then @startdate = '10/1/@year'. Before use the parameter, the startdate is set as '10/1/14', now we want to do it dynamically. How can I use the parameter @Year as part of datetime.
Thank you so much for any helps!!

you dont need to do like thst. just pass 2014 as value itself and use logic like below to get required date


DECLARE @Year int = 2014
SELECT DATEADD(dd,9,DATEADD(yy,@Year-1900,0))

visakh16,
Thank you again!!!
That works! So for the enddate, I can do SELECT DATEADD(mm,11,DATEADD(yy,@Year-1900,30)) to get 12/31/2014 and so on...Very nice!!
Thank you so much!!
