@Heri, here’s a SELECT which may work better for you:
select ‘Current Time is ‘ + datename(dw, getdate()) + ‘ ‘ + datename(m, getdate()) + substring(convert(char(12), getdate(), 107), 4, 9)

This one-liner may work better for you:
select ‘Current Time is ‘ + datename(dw, getdate()) + ‘ ‘ + datename(m, getdate()) + substring(convert(char(12), getdate(), 107), 4, 9)

I run the script on SQL Server 2008, and I got this message “Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 3
‘FORMAT’ is not a recognized built-in function name.”.
