Datetime value does not match the specified format

Question

Hi All,
I am writing this function for a template
case when "Employment Events (Current)"."Most Recent Hire Date" is NULL then NULL else CAST(TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_YEAR,cast(cast("Employment Events (Current)"."Most Recent Hire Date" as char)as timestamp),Cast(Cast(@{EndDate}{CAST('2011-01-01' AS DATE)} AS CHAR) AS TIMESTAMP)) AS CHAR)||' year(s) ' end
but when it runs, it throws me this error
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 2011-01-01 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
What am I doing wrong? "Employment Events (Current)"."Most Recent Hire Date" is set to max - aggregation in the rpd.

I found the solution as well.
The ODBC driver on the Windows server was old (Version 6). I upgraded that to SQL Server Native Client 11.0 and everything works fine.
