Resolution

WORKAROUND



If a function is used in a T-SQL statement ensure that the column list is ordered in such a way that the parameter markers appear anywhere before the function name.

For example if your T-SQL statement is:

����INSERT INTO Table1 (COL1,COL2,COL3,COL4,COL5,COL6) VALUES (NULL,NULL,CONVERT (DATETIME, NULL),NULL,?,NULL)

To avoid the problem discussed in this article, the above statement should be rewritten as

����INSERT INTO Table1 (COL1,COL5,COL2,COL3,COL4,COL6) VALUES (NULL,?,NULL,CONVERT (DATETIME, NULL),NULL,NULL)
