If you are already having date type (reshipdate) then why are u converting it. starting away insert it.

any way try to use
1) change yy to yyyy and change / to -

or

2) str_to_date function

Please post table schema for both your tables. urtrivedi is right you don't need to convert.
Why are you using STR? Is this MS SQL?

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the reply.
I fixed already the problem.
I can share this codes.

here you go.

Case When ISDATE(Shipdate) = 1
Then CONVERT(DATETIME,shipdate,120)
Else Cast(0 as datetime) End as shipdate,
--isdate(shipdate) as col_shipdate,
Case When ISDATE(Reshipdate) = 1
Then CONVERT(DATETIME,reshipdate,120)
Else Cast(0 as datetime) End as Reshipdate,

Regards,

Jonel
