Why not just: RETURN CAST( CAST( @d AS INTEGER) AS DATETIME ) ? And I don't understand Groucho's comment about it needing to be a float. In the code:
RETURN CAST( FLOOR( CAST( @d AS INTEGER) ) AS DATETIME )

As you’re converting to INTEGER, I don’t understand the need for the FLOOR function. Why not just:

RETURN CAST( CAST( @d AS INTEGER) AS DATETIME ) ?

And I don’t understand Groucho’s comment about it needing to be a float.

The initial cast should be a cast to float:

RETURN CAST( FLOOR( CAST( @d AS FLOAT) ) AS DATETIME )
