converting varchar to smallmoney

Hi
My ticket engine stores values in varchar. The sql db-field that
corresponds was created as smallmoney.
The below statement works for conversion of "leavedays" if the given
value is entered without any decimal places (E.G. 4)
As soon as a user enters a value that includes decimal places (E.G.
4.5) the conversion will not work. In this case the value 4.5 is
rounded to 5.
What do i have to do to convert the value as it is entered by the user?
Thanks in advance

Statement:
INSERT INTO leavereq (mitarbeiter, startdate, enddate, leavedays,
remainingdays, approvedby, approvedon) SELECT {0} , convert(datetime,
{1}) , convert(datetime, {2}), convert(numeric, {3}), convert(numeric,
{4}),{5}, getdate()
DDL for concerned database:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[leavereq] (
[mitarbeiter] char(50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[startdate] datetime NULL,
[enddate] datetime NULL,
[leavedays] smallmoney NULL,
[remainingdays] smallmoney NULL,
[approvedon] datetime NULL,
[approvedby] char(50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
)
ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Why are you converting to numeric when the data type on the table is
smallmoney? I suppose that it would properly if you declare the precision
and scale, but you aren't doing that so the insert fails.
It would be easier (and more correct and less confusing) to perform a
CONVERT(smallmoney,x) within your insert
where x is the value of the data that you are trying to insert.
Are you not using stored procedures to insert the data?

Converting sp outcome

Hi all,

i have an stored procedure that returns a value, i want to convert that value into smallmoney, is this possible and i yes how?

here is my code:

CREATE proc CP_avgloss_total
@.mID varchar(10),
@.startdate datetime,
@.enddate datetime

as
select

case

((sum(playtime))/ 3600)
when 0
then 0
else ((sum(vtp)-(sum(moneyout)))/100) / ((sum(playtime))/ 3600)
end avgloss
from dbo.total
where
machineID = @.mID
and convert(varchar,njdate,121)
between convert(varchar,@.startdate,121)
and convert(varchar,@.enddate,121)

GO

The value that needs to convert is avgloss

Hope someone can help me with this.
Cheers Wimselect cast(P1.avgloss as smallmoney) as avgloss from

((sum(playtime))/ 3600)

It worked thanx but i still get as outcome 4 digit behind the break
Do you know how to get 2 digits?

Thanx|||As far as I know, the smallmoney data type uses by default 4 decimal digits. If different number of decimal places are needed, "Books Online" recommends using the Decimal data type.|||Originally posted by marp
