WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * 1) In the create table script, use the Text column type instead of the nText column type.
 * 2) In the Insert statement, use the VARCHAR column type instead of the NVARCHAR column type.

Note You can also use both of these methods to work around this problem.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.This problem was first corrected in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4.



MORE INFORMATION
To reproduce this problem, use the following code sample: if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id('dbo.MyProc') and sysstat & 0xf = 4) drop procedure dbo.MyProc GO CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MyProc ( @alpDateMetMin datetime = NULL) AS CREATE TABLE #MyTable (nValue ntext NOT NULL)

INSERT INTO #MyTable VALUES (CONVERT(nvarchar(19), @alpDateMetMin, 120))

return 0 GO EXEC MyProc NULL
