                                          | I don't know the answer to your question, but I would try using ISO formats:'20111214 00:00:00.000'or'2011-12-14T00:00:00.000'(Note no hyphens in first format, and hyphens but no spaces in the second one) |

                                          | You can calculate it, convert it to a string of correct format, and then include it in your "call".Try it first though, manually, because if neither of those formats is acceptable to Informix you'll need a different solution. |

                                          | All I have is Informix Stored Procedure name and the parameters names. I don't have privilages to modify Informix  information . It belongs to 3rd party. I never worked with Informix before. I am MS SQl person. In SSIS package, in dataSource Reader can we calculate datetimetime before calling Informix SP? if so Can I use SQL code to generate datetime? or Do I need to use Informix code.Thank You |
