Wild Card Processing

  How do one process wild cards using COBOL/400  for example if I 
have a field that   partial information is provided and I have to process 
all records with same information.      For example if the user only supplies 
me with this type of value for this field that contain 20 characters but only 
provides me with 6 
characters like this 123456* do I use an embedded SQL or make the field a  
partial list of a key in order to process this records. Thanks.
