function to format Time (24 hours- 5 digits)

Hi

I know this is not a complicated matter.

I'm using this code in my SP to return the time formated in 24 hours

DECLARE @.Hora VARCHAR(5)
SET @.Hora = CONVERT(char(2), DatePart (hh,GetDate())) + ':' + CONVERT(char(2), DatePart (mi,GetDate()))
print @.Hora

te problem is that when the time is any before 10 am for instance 7:23 am the sp returns 7 :23 and I need it ro return 07:23.

What function allows me to insert that '0' to complete the 5 digits format in this case?

thanks

Try this instead:

SELECT My24HrTime = convert( char(5), getdate(), 114 )

For future reference, you may wish to refer to the 'style' chart in Books Online, Topic: 'Cast and Convert'.

(The number 114, above is the 'style' used in the convert() function.)

function call acting odd

We upgraded to SP4 last night. Prior to that upgrade, a specific function
worked fine (since 2003 as a matter of fact). Now, if I create a view using
Enterprise Manager and call this function, I get an erroneous error message
about needing to convert a data type. If I write the same query in query
analzyer, however, it works as expected. Prior views and stored procedures
that call this function continue to work as expected. Any suggestions on
what is going on here? Is this SP4 related or something else?> create a view using Enterprise Manager
I strongly recommend sticking with Query Analyzer for this kind of task. EM
is fine for look-see and administrative type tasks, but I do not think it is
the optimal tool for script or data management.
A|||Aaron,
Query Analyzer may be the better choice but the point is that EM no longer
works as it did in the past, which tells me there is a problem somewhere.
Thanks anyway.

And if you service your Yugo, its behavior may change also. Doesn't mean
you should have ever had a Yugo in the first place. :-)
