I need to create the following date using sql.

I want the month and day to be 07/01 but for the
year I need the current year.

I thought I could do something like '07/01/' + YEAR(getdate())
but this error.

Thanks

easiest, cleanest way in my opinion is with a simple Date() UDF:

Then, you just write:

set @yourdate = dbo.Date(year(getdate()), 7, 1)
