[dba-SQLServer] Passing a valid date to a sproc

Unfortunately, 103 etc is for converting from DATETIME to a string, not the 
other way round.

IF you are stuck with passing "dd/mm/yyyy" you will have to do something 
like

@WeekEnding  CHAR(10)
....

DIm @WeekEndingDate DATETIME
....
@WeekEndingDate = SUBSTRING ( @WeekEnding , 4 , 2 ) 
       + '/' + SUBSTRING (  @Weekending , 1 , 2 ) 
       + '/' +SUBSTRING (  @Weekending , 7 , 4 ) 
......
VALUES(
.....
@WeekEndingDate
......
