Re: "select * from myfile where cusno like '1%' " fails on V5R3

I'm on V5R2 and if I try to use the LIKE predicate on a numeric field, I 
get the same error message,

"select  * from myfile  where cusno like '1%' " fails on V5R3






This is an odd thing on V5R3. If cusno is a numeric field then this 
query will fail:

select  * from myfile  where cusno like '1%'

STRSQL complains: "Operand not valid in LIKE predicate".

 We will have to cast numeric field to character to resolve this.

 It is odd because same query works on V5R2.
(It also works in MySQL and MS SQL server).

 Could you STRSQL on your box and verify this?

 Thanks.
