When the conversion is from **datetimeoffset(*n*)**, the date and time components are copied. The time zone is truncated. When the fractional precision of the **datetimeoffset(*n*)** value is greater than three digits, the value is [rounded](#rounding-of-datetime-fractional-second-precision) to the nearest **datetime** increment (`.000`, `.003`, or `.007` seconds). The following example shows the results of converting a `DATETIMEOFFSET(4)` value to a `DATETIME` value.

```sql
DECLARE @datetimeoffset AS DATETIMEOFFSET (4) = '1968-10-23 12:45:37.0017 +10:0';
DECLARE @datetimeoffset AS DATETIMEOFFSET (4) = '1968-10-23 12:45:37.0017 +10:00';
DECLARE @datetime AS DATETIME = @datetimeoffset;
