I have this SQL below:

.....
where UpdateDateTime > (select CAST ('#p_MaxDate#' as DATETIME))

The value for p_MaxDate that I am getting as parameter is:
p_MaxDate = "2012-08-14 14:15:41"

But I am getting this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

I also tried

where UpdateDateTime >(select CONVERT(DATETIME, ('#p_MaxDate#', 111)) & tried
where UpdateDateTime >(select CAST ('#p_MaxDate#' as DATETIME))

Still same error ...

Any ideas anyone?

all between single quotes is a string and the string #p_Maxdate# can't be converted to a date.

what is the real column name? is it p_MaxDate or is it #p_Maxdate# or ...?

I am using this inside DataStage SQL stage.

The column name on the table is UpdateDateTime & (p_MaxDate) is the parameter which is being passed in the WHERE clause.

The parameter is being passed as a string & I think I need to convert this from string to datetime or timestamp.
