What The Format Codes Mean In SQL 'CONVERT'
Aug 28, 2007Aloha !
I am posting this information simply as an FYI. This is in reference to the MS-SQL command "CONVERT"
I spent over 2 hours :rolleyes: screwing around trying to find out different ways of formatting dates from MS-SQL into something that makes sense for what I needed. I googled everything I could think of and found multiple references that said the info is available on MSDN.. but I could not find it. What I did find were thousands of relatively useless references to "format codes" for converting dates, but with no references to what the different format codes would ultimately yield, or what format codes were available to use.
What I ended up doing was writing a small script to generate a list of all of the variations I could find.
Below is the script, and the output that it yielded.
Now, before I get bombarded with "there is a better way" I know there probably is. But this is the way that I needed to do it this particular time. If there are technical errors in my explanation, anyone is welcome to correct them. But after 2 hours of messing with this for what should have been a super simple single .0009 second command, I am just irritated beyond belief that it had to be this complicated to find any useful information on the subject. That is why I am creating this. Hopefully it helps someone else.
The format for the MS SQL CONVERT command is :
CONVERT( length_of_output, date, format_code )
length_of_output : is exactly that . the number of characters that you want returned as your result. If you use a length of 6 you will only see the first 6 characters that are returned. I found the longest valid length to be 28 characters, but I went as high as 128 just for giggles and to see if it revealed any secrets.
date : is a valid date, I used directly the getdate() function
format_code : well.. that's the tricky part. See below.
What I did was ran a script that originally went from 1 to 20,000. It crashed at 15. Apparently the format codes are not totally sequential. So I put in an on error resume next.
What I found is that :
1) the codes are not uninterrupted sequential numbers.
2) the code output repeats every 255
3) negative numbers can be used, but its pointless.
4) useful valid codes are in the ranges of : 0-14, 20-25, 100-114, 120, 121, 126, 130 and 131
5) 0-25 typically represent "short dates" with the year being only 2 digits, but there are exceptions
6) 100 and above always returned a 4 digit year. the exception was 130 and 131, I don't know what it was trying to do.
Here is the script i ran
<%
on error resume next
for iintCounter = 0 to 256
SQL = "SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), " & iintCounter & " ) as TheDate"
Set rsTheDateFormat = TheDatabase.Execute(SQL)
response.write SQL & " = " & rsTheDateFormat("TheDate") & "<br>"
set rsTheDateFormat = nothing
next
%>
and here is the output
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), 0 ) as TheDate = Aug 28 2007 6:46AM

SQL Server 2012 :: Return Descriptions From Table2 In Same Format As Codes From Table1?
Apr 22, 2015Table1 contains a CODES column which may store multiple codes separated by commas.
The descriptions for these codes are stored individually in a column in in Table2.
I would like to return the descriptions from Table2 in the same format as the codes from Table1.
Table1 Stores multiple codes per ID in a single column.
ID CODES
-- --------------
01 Code1,Code2,Code3
Table2 Stores the definitions for the codes in Table1
CODE DESCRIPTION
----- ---------------
Code1 Description1
Code2 Description2
Code3 Description3
The tables are what the tables are. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
ID CODES DESCRIPTIONS
-- ----------------- --------------------------------------
01 Code1,etc Description1,Description2,Description3
I've found two different queries which return each code and associated description by ID in separate rows. Perhaps the next step is to aggregate from this?

Oct 8, 2007Hi
I am new to using Business Intelligence Development Studio. I have ' FROM' and 'TO' parameters set using DATETIME, when I select the dates I wish to use so I can generate a report it is displaying in the American format being mm/dd/yy, however the server only recognises dd/mm/yy, the server has SP2 installed.
Is there any way of formatting the calendar control so that dd/mm/yy is recognised instead of the American format.

Date Format SSRS Stores In DB
Feb 25, 2008
Hi,
I have report scheduled in a SSRS. SSRS creates a job and from MSDB.DBO.SysJobActivity the

Can any one tell me what is the date format that SSRS stores is it a getdate() or a UTC Date??
How To Get Report In Text Format In SSRS?
Sep 3, 2007Hi,
Can aybody help me in the below requirement.
I have a report like below:
<<Name Of Compnay>>
<<Name Of Report>>
<<Todays Date>>
<<ReportPeriod>> From Date - To date
The above is header and then the data in the report should come as the <<Data>> and # to be used as separator for columns.
163 #GXXX #ABC Comp Ltd. #DTDC#PPPP ABC XYZ ETC #111
*End Of Report*
How can I get this exported as it is to the .txt file?
Currently I have acheived this with SSIS, where I have kept the header template, footer template in my folder. The SSIS generates the .txt file and then I use the execute process transformation to merge the files and data. I am getting the exact o/p as I want. But in this I am intorducing lot of IO in the package by every time creating a new header for the data to be replaced as todays date and the period to be replaced by the user selected Report Period.
How can this be achived using SSRS? Is any custome code required?
Thanks in advacne for your help.

Virendra

Reporting Services :: Exporting SSRS To XML Format
Sep 23, 2015I need to generate a report in XML format . Expected XML format is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:SPO xmlns:ns="urn:abc:SparePartOrder">
<SPOrecset>
<SPOK>
<ZCODE>O</ZCODE>
<KNDNR>00009999</KNDNR>
[Code] ....
I have tried two methods to get the above XML format.
1. Modified XML Nodes - Created a stored procedure which returns the required informations from database. To get the XML format I have modified XML Nodes using DataElementName property from SSRS. I have added the
following code in rsreportserver.
<Extension Name="Custom XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">Custom XML</Name>
[Code] ...
When I run the report and export it to XML , I got the XML as given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Report Name="POExportToGermany">
<SPOrecset>
<SPOK_Collection>
[code] ...
Here the format is not in the expected format.
2. Using Stored Procedure:- Using Stored procedure I am able to create the expected XML format.
When i click on this link I can see the data in expected XML format. But the problem is I am not able to show this data in report. Dataset is showing the above .XML as given below. How can I generate report using SSRS with expected XML format? What are the procedures to get the above XML format.

Nov 4, 2015I have a image in SSRS which is of PNG in format. when I preview the image it is coming as expected but if I export that to PDF the image is having the black color back ground. One more point to be noted here is my actual image file is having a small shading in it which is not visible properly, but the same back ground is coming with full black color line in the PDF form.
Another issue is : I have 3 sub reports in my SSRS report. In the preview I can see the data is coming in order of sub reports but if I export it to PDF the second sub-report data is coming at the end of the report and first and 3rd sub reports are fine. But If I have only one record for 2nd sub-report the order is same in both the Preview page as well as in the PDF format.
CSV File Is Getting Messed Up When SSRS Report Is Being Exported To Csv Format
Sep 10, 2007
Hi,
I am using expressions for the textboxes in the Table control Header, because the header names should be displayed in both English as well as in Japanese based on the language selection.The report works fine and all the render formatts except CSV are working fine.when i export this report to CSV, the header names are not coming in the first row of CSV , but some other textbox names (eg textbox 34..) are being displayed on the first row of CSV.From second row onwards, i am getting the header names seperated by comma and the data is being displayed.This header names are being repeated for all the rows in the CSV along with the data.Please give me a solution regarding this.
I tried by setting Data Element as "NO" from "Auto".I could stop the header names being repeated from second row in CSV, but i couldnot get the names in the first row of CSV.
I need to have all the header names as first row in csv and from the second row, i need data.

Reporting Services :: Exporting SSRS Report To TXT Format
Nov 18, 2015I am using SSRS 2008 R2 and have a report set up on a subscription to be exported to a .TXT file and placed in a network drive folder. The report generates as it should and is placed in the network folder as it should and the file format is .TXT. However, when the text file is uploaded to an ftp site, the results of the very first record within the system the file is uploaded to, has 3 weird leading characters.
But the rest of the records are imported perfectly, as they should be. The system that the file is being uploaded into is not our system, it is a system at a USA Today Newspaper office and is an IBM iSeries server with the programming language of LANSA (Never heard of it).
I have edited the report server configuration file to give the ability to export the report to a .TXT file format and I have included the code snippet on here. Maybe I have missed something, not sure. I have also included the screenshot of the file upload results that were sent to me by USA Today. Is there anything I can do to get those 3 characters to not show up in the first record?

<OverrideNames>
