PRB: ODBC Error when Passing Date Parameters to SQL Stored Proc
Last reviewed: December 11, 1997
Article ID: Q174638
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0
SYMPTOMS
One of the following errors occurs when passing a date to a SQL Stored Procedure:
Microsoft OLD DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error 80004005
At least one parameter contained a type that was not supported.
-OR-
Microsoft OLD DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error 80040e21
Driver not capable.
CAUSE
The data type of the parameter being passed to the stored procedure does not match the data type the stored procedure is expecting. For example, passing a value of "7/21/97" to a stored procedure that is expecting DateTime data will cause the error.
RESOLUTION
Make sure the data type you are passing to the stored procedure is of the same type as the stored procedure is expecting. Using Visual InterDev's Data Command control to create the Active Server Pages (ASP) code to call your stored procedure will ensure the parameter is of the correct type.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Create or open a Visual InterDev project.
Add a data connection to the "Pubs" database on your SQL server.
From the Data View tab, right-click the Stored Procedures folder for the "Pubs" database and choose "New Stored Procedure" from the context menu.
Copy/paste the code between the "===" lines below into the new stored procedure.
<%
Set pubs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
pubs.ConnectionTimeout = Session("pubs_ConnectionTimeout")
pubs.CommandTimeout = Session("pubs_CommandTimeout")
pubs.Open Session("pubs_ConnectionString"),
Session("pubs_RuntimeUserName"), Session("pubs_RuntimePassword")
Set cmdTemp = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set DataCommand1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
cmdTemp.CommandText = "dbo.""sp_custom_sel"""
cmdTemp.CommandType = 4
Set cmdTemp.ActiveConnection = pubs
Set tmpParam = cmdTemp.CreateParameter("Return Value", 3, 4, 4)
cmdTemp.Parameters.Append tmpParam
'*************************************
'The 7 in the "CreateParamter" below defines the passed value
'-"7/18/61"-as a Date data type. Changing the 7 to 135 defines the
'passed value as a Datetime data type, which the stored procedure is
'expecting. For more information on data type values, see the "Type
'Property" topic in InfoView.
'*************************************
Set tmpParam = cmdTemp.CreateParameter("@custdate",
7, 1, 16,"7/18/97")
Preview the ASP page. The error described in the SYMPTOMS section above will appear.
Change the 7 in the "CreateParameter" line of the ASP to 135. Save and run the ASP page. No error will appear.
