SQL Web Assistant: @targetdate is invalid. It must be a valid date after 1900-01-01.

Error Message:
Msg 16857, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_makewebtask, Line 131
SQL Web Assistant: @targetdate is invalid. It must be a valid date after 1900-01-01.

Severity level:
11.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to call the procedure sp_makewebtask with an invalid value for the parameter @targetdate.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 11 are generated by the user and are corrigible by the user. The statement cannot be executed this way. For the parameter @targetdate you must specify a value later than 1900-01-01.

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
EXEC sp_makewebtask 'D:\test.html',
 @query = 'SELECT * FROM Northwind.dbo.Orders',
 @fixedfont = 1,
 @bold = 1,
 @italic = 1,
 @colheaders = 1,
 @lastupdated = 1,
 @HTMLheader = 2,
 @whentype = 1,
 @unittype = 1,
 @targetdate = '18991231'

Remarks:
In the above example we try to call the sp_makewebtask procedure with the value '18991231' for the @targetdate parameter. This raises the error.
