Integration Services log report pack - provided by Microsoft - US date format issue


Integration Services log report pack - provided by Microsoft - US date format issue weelin

sql server dts:
Hello all,

Microsoft provides a report pack of RS reports to use with
Integration
Services standard logging.


The link is here

I have been trying to use these reports in the UK and have come
across
a problem with the date formatting. The reports seem to expect the
date formatting in the report parameters to be in US format. I have
changed all the report language settings to UK - English and the date
formatting in the datasets that supply the parameter values all use
ANSI dates (format 102), but I still get date conversion errors when
trying to return the datasets unless I input the dates in US format.


Any advice on how to get around this issue would be greatly
appreciated.


Thanks

As a follow-up, I have found that the only way to run the report is
via Internat Explorer browser AFTER setting the locale of the browser
to US-English so that it passes the date parameters in the correct
format. Obviously, this is not a practical solution, so if anyone has
found a proper solution, please let me know.

Thanks

To answer my own question and save others wasting time.

I have solved this issue now, by converting all the dates to use ISO
standard 20070327 format and pass this around as a string to the
parameters
instead of the full date.


Thanks
