Pat,

You need to put a % sign on each end of your search term. In your
example, you'd want to have wmname set to '%CANADIAN%'. You should be
aware that this type of query will cause a full table scan so use it
with caution on large tables.

Subject: Using the LIKE feature within a SELECT in Embedded SQL for RPG

    I am tring to use the LIKE function within my SELECT statement, and
am 
having some 
    trouble with it.
    Both my prompt field and field I want to search are 30a.
    Ex:  I key "CANADIAN" on the prompt and want to return to my subfile

any 
    records with "CANADIAN COAST GUARD" and "MOLSON CANADIAN" and "THE 
    CANADIANS WIN HOCKEY GOLD AGAIN".
    c/exec sql 

    c+ declare maincursor cursor for select * from wmmstr where 
    c+ :pname like wmname order by wmname 
    c/end-exec 
 
    Thanks,
    Pat.
