Solution 2

Take off the "103" parameters - it specifies that SQL should expect two-digit dates, not four:

SQL

SELECT @DTFINE = CONVERT(DATETIME,'12/31/9999')
        ,@DTINIZIO = GETDATE()

First of all why you using 103 format when you just want to cast in Datetime, you can directly cast the string into datetime

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,'2/25/2013 12:52:45 PM')

so if you want any formatted output than you can use 101, 103 etc...

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DATETIME,'2/25/2013 12:52:45 PM'),101)  AS 'Format 101', CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DATETIME,'2/25/2013 12:52:45 PM'),103) AS 'Format 103'

Result will be:

SQL

Format 101 | Format 103
------------------------
02/25/2013 | 25/02/2013

Solution 4

Try this -

DECLARE @DTFINE DATETIME
		,@DTINIZIO DATETIME
SELECT @DTFINE = CONVERT(DATETIME,'31/12/9999',103)  -- input date should be dd/mm/yyyy format
		,@DTINIZIO = GETDATE()
		
PRINT @DTFINE
