Date/Time type conversion for Sage 300 date fields

By | July 31, 2019

As we all are aware that Sage 300 stores the Audit Date and Audit Time in the SQL tables. Many times there are necessity to check the audits for organizational purpose but user cannot identify the time stored in the table due to its structure. We will be discussing the conversion of the time and date to the format user requires in this blog.

In Sage 300 AUDTTIME and AUDTDATE are the fields in which you will get the date and time where all transactions are posted/updated in Sage 300. The fields are only accessible from SQL tables and not available on the screens.

Audit Date/Time:

In the SQL Audit date is stores in the yyyyMMdd format. If a user wants to format the date into the date and time format, so we provided an example of date type conversion for Sage 300 date fields.

Sage 300 ERP SQL Date / Time Conversion:

SQL Server allows us to set up custom user-created queries. You can run the following query then you can get output like “30/07/2019 16:03:32”

SQL Query:

select

DATEADD(mi, DATEDIFF(mi, GETUTCDATE(), GETDATE()),

CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),CONVERT(Date,CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),AUDTDATE))) + ‘ ‘ +

LEFT(LEFT(Right(‘00000000’ + Convert(varchar(8),AUDTTIME),8),4),2) + ‘:’ +

RIGHT(LEFT(right(‘00000000’ + Convert(varchar(8),AUDTTIME),8),4),2)

+ ‘:’ + RIGHT(LEFT(right(‘00000000’ + Convert(varchar(8),AUDTTIME),8), 6) ,2)

Audit Time:

GMT format of the Audit time:

In sage 300 AUDTIME is based on GMT format, if user wants to translate the AUDTIME in a different time zone, the user will need to revise the SQL statement. We have converted the GMT time format into the Central Time zone. Refer the below SQL query for the Central Time zone.

Example :

Standard AUDTIME format is : 10333254 (10:33:32 GMT)

After running the query below you get an output like : 16:03:32 IST

SQL stmt to format AUDTIME :

select

LEFT(CONVERT(time,DATEADD(HOUR,5,DATEADD(MINUTE,30,(LEFT(LEFT(Right(‘00000000’ + Convert(varchar(8),AUDTTIME),8),4),2) + ‘:’ + RIGHT(LEFT(right(‘00000000’ + Convert(varchar(8),AUDTTIME),8),4),2)))),103),5)

+’:’+

RIGHT(LEFT(right(‘00000000’ + Convert(varchar(8),AUDTTIME),8), 6) – 60000,2)
