AW: SQL problem

Hi Mike,

you have 2 posibilities:
1. Define POSTCAT as varying length field and remove the trailing Blanks
with the Built-in-Functions %Trim() or %TrimR()

2. Use the SQL scalar functions TRIM or RTRIM to move off the trailing
Blanks:
C/EXEC SQL                                                     
C+ SELECT SOSST, SOSH#, SOCTC INTO :Street, :house, :city FROM 
C+ SRVOUT00 WHERE SOSAD like RTRIM(:POSTCAT)                          
C/END-EXEC

Betreff: SQL problem

I am having a problem with an embedded SQL statement.  
I can run the following from STRSQL and it will return results. 
SELECT SOSST, SOSH#, SOCTC  from  SRVOUT00 WHERE SOSAD like '7 Frank%
'             

However, I am trying to run a Select into inside a program without
success.  
Here is what I have 

C/EXEC SQL                                                     
C+ SELECT SOSST, SOSH#, SOCTC INTO :Street, :house, :city FROM 
C+ SRVOUT00 WHERE SOSAD like :POSTCAT                          
C/END-EXEC        

After executing I receive a SQLCOD = 100  The value of :POSTCAT is
POSTCAT = '7 Frank%                                          '


Any ideas?
