BUG #: 355338 (SHILOH_BUGS)
SYMPTOMS
When a datetime value is sent to SQL Server by way of a remote procedure call (RPC), if a trace is running, the datetime value is formatted as a string and sent to the specified trace file or SQL Profiler. During this formatting, the seconds and milliseconds specified for this parameter are truncated, so the value shows in the RPC:Starting or RPC:Completed events in a form that resembles the following:
exec sp_executesql N'select @P1', N'@P1 datetime', 'Aug 24 2001 12:59PM'
Note that this problem is specific to the formatting and display of this value for a trace. The full datetime value is correctly passed to the stored procedure that is being called.
CAUSE
In converting the datetime to its string representation, the value is truncated.
