RE: SQL problem

Have you tried making POSTCAT a varying field, and populating it with a
%trimr?  Your extra blanks are throwing off the scan, since a blanks is
still a literal character.....  I'm not sure if the precompiler handles
varying data corectly for this, but it's worth a try....

The recommended fix is to Eval POSTCAT = %trimr(SEARCHVAL) + *All'%' to make
POSTCAT look like
'7 Frank%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%'

Subject: 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?
