I do not want to have the time component in the destination field. The following code includes the time component, however if GETDATE() is used, the time component is NOT included. Is there a work around?

UPDATE CaseAdmin.dbo.RumDataZDI SET
DateProcessed = CONVERT(nVarChar(8), s.ZdiDate,1),
WhoProcessed = 'todd',
Processed = 1
FROM CaseAdmin.dbo.RumDataZDI t
INNER JOIN _TmpSelectChecks s ON(s.ZdiRef = t.Ref)
WHERE s.Selected = 1

s.ZdiDate is a DateTime field and it only contains Date data; no Time data.

for datetime data type, the time is always there. Use the code below to set it to midnight 00:00:00

SET DateProcessed = dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, s.ZdiDate), 0)
