I am having issues with Two lines in my Stored Procedure:

'426.Ins1EffectiveDate'=CASE WHEN ISNULL(CONVERT(VARCHAR,pi.InsCardEffectiveDate,101),'')IS NULL THEN '' ELSE CAST(pi.InsCardEffectiveDate AS varchar)END,
'427.Ins1TerminationDate'= CASE WHEN ISNULL(CONVERT(VARCHAR,pi.InsCardTerminationDate,101),'')IS NULL THEN '' ELSE CAST(pi.InsCardTerminationDate AS varchar)END

Its returning a date value as such:

Mar 12 2008 12:00AM

I dont want the 12:00 AM ... in fact, I want it to read 03/12/2008

Use the CONVERT function and select the correct value for style.

You can look up the value you want in SQL Server Books Online in the "CAST and CONVERT" topic.

Where do you want to show formatted dates?
Also what do you mean by '426.Ins1EffectiveDate'?
