Should this work?
EVAL LikeString = '%' + Trim(:InSearchString) + '%'
Like :LikeString

Subject: Like string in embedded SQL
I need to look for a string like 'Access plan not updated' in an embedded SQL statement in an RPG program.
If I do the following in STRSQL it works.
SELECT count(*) FROM out132 WHERE OUT132 Like('%Access plan not updated%')
but the following in embedded SQL does not work.
Exec Sql Select Count(*)
Into :Count
From QTEMP/OUT132
Where OUT132 Like('%:InSearchString%');
When I look at the complied there is no data field being moved in so obviously it is not seeing the ':' in the string.
Any ideas how to code this so it sees the search string?
I know that one solution would be to use dynamic SQL but would like to ignore that options if I could.
