• SQL Server Ignore conversion error

  I have a table that has a date column formatted as char(6), MMDDYY.  The dates need to be converted to datetime.  I use the following command: UPDATE  Table1 SET  CorrectedDate = CONVERT(datetime, SUBSTRING(Date, 5, 2) + SUBSTRING(Date, 1, 2) + SUBSTRING(Date, 3, 2), 1) That works until it hits a date formatted incorrectly.  The date could have blank spaces, double zeros or an invalid month/day/year (e.g. 033986).  The command stops with a conversion error and no values are written to the CorrectedDate fields. Is there a way to have the command skip the invalid dates and continue to write the datetime conversion for the dates that are formatted correctly Edit: Forgot to mention this is on ...Show All
