# setObject Method (java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)
[!INCLUDE[Driver_JDBC_Download](../../../includes/driver_jdbc_download.md)]

  Sets the value of the designated parameter using the given object.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
public void setObject(java.lang.String sCol,  
                      java.lang.Object o)  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *sCol*  
  
 A **String** that contains the parameter name.  
  
 *o*  
  
 An **Object** value.  
  
## Exceptions  
 [SQLServerException](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverexception-class.md)  
  
## Remarks  
 This setObject method is specified by the setObject method in the java.sql.CallableStatement interface.  
  
 This method converts the specified parameter to a CHAR if a NULL is given, before sending it to the database. If the parameter is declared as a binary, varbinary or image SQL type, then an exception will be thrown when the statement is executed.  
  
 Beginning with [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] JDBC Driver 3.0, the behavior of this method is modified by the **sendTimeAsDatetime** connection property ([Setting the Connection Properties](../../../connect/jdbc/setting-the-connection-properties.md)) and [SQLServerDataSource.setSendTimeAsDatetime](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/setsendtimeasdatetime-method-sqlserverdatasource.md).
