My stored procedure is as follows,

SQL

 -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@FromDate datetime,
@ToDate datetime

    --Select query
   DECLARE @query nvarchar(max)

   set @query='SELECT [col1]
               FROM [Table1]
               WHERE ([col2] BETWEEN '''+@FromDate+''' AND'''+@ToDate+''')'

    execute sp_executesql @query

Executing this string query results in following error,

"Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"

Any one please help me to sort this out

Hi, You can try this

SQL

@FromDate datetime,
 @ToDate datetime

     --Select query
    DECLARE @query nvarchar(max)

    set @query='SELECT [col1]
                FROM [Table1]
                WHERE ([col2] BETWEEN '''+CONVERT(NVARCHAR, @FromDate,21)+''' AND'''+CONVERT(NVARCHAR, @ToDate, 21)+''')'

     execute sp_executesql @query

Your query looks OK...

Try this:

SQL

set @query=N'SELECT [col1] 
           FROM [Table1] 
           WHERE ([col2] BETWEEN ''' + @FromDate + ''' AND ''' + @ToDate + ''')'

Check the input parameters by printing its content to MS SQL Managment Studio - Messages window:

SQL

PRINT @FromDate
PRINT @FromDate
