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 )

Otherwise the time fraction will cause a round up to the next full day.

i have a question of some jsunit posts on your site, but i was not sure where to ask it. not sure if you can answer either, but i have found surprising little on the web about it. It seems like you have done some debugging through it, so i’m hoping you can help.

I set up jsunit in eclipse, and i am trying to call it from java’s junit. I setup a StandaloneTest and give it an implementation of the ConfigurationSource interface. it starts the test, and feeds the test html pages to the browsers, but then it times out when waiting for results from the browsers.

do you have any experience with this? or any tips on how results are supplied so i can debug the issue? I emailed the person who wrote jsunit via the jsunit.org page, but have received no response, so i’m looking elsewhere.
