Actually, you need to be careful with that as well. If variable STRING is
not varying length, then you would wind up with blanks padded to the
right. SQL would interpret this as "Varying number of characters, followed
by the string "ABCABC", followed by varying number of characters, followed
by some number of blank characters".....

As I recall, IBM recommends that STRING should look something like this
(assume STIRING is 15A): '%ABCABC%%%%%%%%'.

I think varying length fields are handled correctly, and STRING could
simply be expressed as '%ABCABC%'.

Hi,
If STRING does not look like '%ABCABC%' then you probably will get the
count
= 0.
For LIKE operations do fill in the variable the % as needed.

Hope it helps
