Hi

I am trying to bring back data for current date minus 7 but failing - below is the query from WINSQL - which I am trying to do automatically - any help would be great

SELECT "MITTRA"."MTWHLO", "MITTRA"."MTITNO", "MITBAL"."Safety stock",
right( "MITTRA"."MTTRDT", 2) + '/' + substring(convert(VARCHAR(8), "MITTRA"."MTTRDT"), 5, 2) + '/' + left( "MITTRA"."MTTRDT", 4) AS "Trans Date",
"MITTRA"."MTRIDN", "MITTRA"."MTWHSL", "MITTRA"."MTTTID", "MITTRA"."MTTRTP", "MITTRA"."MTTTYP", "MITTRA"."MTRESP", "MITTRA"."MTRFTX", "MITTRA"."MTTRQT", "MITTRA"."MTMFCO", "MITBAL"."On-hand balance approved", "Items"."Item description", "Staff"."Name (/EAEMNM)"
FROM   (("BPW_Live_Datamarts"."dbo"."MITTRA" "MITTRA" INNER JOIN "BPW_Live_Datamarts"."dbo"."Items" "Items" ON ("MITTRA"."MTCONO"="Items"."Company") AND ("MITTRA"."MTITNO"="Items"."Item number")) INNER JOIN "BPW_Live_Datamarts"."dbo"."Staff" "Staff" ON ("MITTRA"."MTCONO"="Staff"."Company") AND ("MITTRA"."MTWHLO"="Staff"."Warehouse")) LEFT OUTER JOIN "BPW_Live_Datamarts"."dbo"."MITBAL" "MITBAL" ON (("MITTRA"."MTCONO"="MITBAL"."Company") AND ("MITTRA"."MTWHLO"="MITBAL"."Warehouse")) AND ("MITTRA"."MTITNO"="MITBAL"."Item number")
WHERE   NOT ("Staff"."Name (/EAEMNM)"=N'Jason Whippy' OR "Staff"."Name (/EAEMNM)"=N'Neil Baylis' OR "Staff"."Name (/EAEMNM)"=N'Richard Norris') AND "MITTRA"."MTTTID"=N'SOD' AND ("MITTRA"."MTWHLO" LIKE N'6%' OR "MITTRA"."MTWHLO" LIKE N'7%') and
"Trans Date"<dateadd('d', -7, currentdate)

Hi,

What is the error message you are getting..
and could you check the date format of Trans Date?
use below code

Cdate(Trans Date) < DateAdd('d', -7, currentdate)

Also you are using the alias in the where clause, I do not think that is allowed and since Trans Date is a string, you will have to convert it to a date.

I think would just need to change

"Trans Date"<dateadd('d', -7, currentdate)

to

cdate(right( "MITTRA"."MTTRDT", 2) + '/' + substring(convert(VARCHAR(8), "MITTRA"."MTTRDT"), 5, 2) + '/' + left( "MITTRA"."MTTRDT", 4) < dateadd('d', -7, currentdate)

That is a very odd message.  If this a MS-SQL database, you may need to use convert or cast to change your string to a date.

I do not know anything about WINSQL.  You will have to look at their documentation and see if there are any type conversion functions.
