Hi All,

I am converting varchar datatype to datetime but it is throwing out of range exception.

Below conversion is failing

SELECT CAST('20130229' as DATETIME)
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,'20130229')

But it is working fine for the other date. Some date are given below for which it is working fine

VB
