thanx tara
but still i'd like to know if there is a date format.
Look, i want to obtain the last day without hours and minuts and seconds from the getdate() (or any datetime data).
To do this i write the next sentence:
---------------------------------------
declare @x datetime
set @x = '2003-12-11'
select convert (datetime, convert (varchar, (year (dateadd (month, 1, @x)) * 10000) + (month (dateadd (month, 1, @x)) * 100) + 1)) - 1
---------------------------------------
And i jus was thinking that with a date format could write more simlpy this code.

tnx

If you don't want the time to display, then use:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @x, 101)


101 is a style for the CONVERT function. If you look up CONVERT in BOL, you'll find a lot of different styles.

There's no way to just display month and year only that I know of.
