When I am trying to put in a datetime value in a filter in IA+, the date picker messes everything up. And the new "feature" in 8.2 is that you HAVE to use the datepicker GUI. Unlike 8.1 where you could type in the value.

Example is when I am trying to choose a date at 4:45 am This is what I choose:


However, this is the SQL Trace and of course that breaks:


Has anyone else had problems with this?

The only workaround that I found is to do a WHERE expression:

What's the database? What's the format of FWLSTARTDATETIME? I just change my Order_Date format in sql server's Northwind/ORDERS to HYYMDI to reflect only hours and minutes and this is what my trace looks like:

SELECT
T1."OrderDate"
FROM
dbo.Orders T1
WHERE
(T1."OrderDate" BETWEEN CAST('19980408 14:30' AS SMALLDATETIME)
AND CAST('19980505 14:10' AS SMALLDATETIME))
GROUP BY
T1."OrderDate"
ORDER BY
T1."OrderDate";

Yes, it can be done with code, as shown in the last picture.

The issue is that the datetime picker is whacked in IA+

That's the SQL trace generated by IA. I didn't type it.

Oops. I miss read that. Sorry. Too many irons in the fire and I rushed through reading your reply.

Database is SQL Server, and the Focus format is HYYMDs

Try changing the date format and actual to HYYMDI. It seems to work for me when I pick a time.
