Hi,

just use embedded SQL!

D MyText S 50A Varying inz('Search XYabZXYxxZ XYZ
within a String')
D MySearch S 10A Varying inz('%XY__Z%')

D isFound S N
/Free
Exec SQL Set :isFound = Case When :MyText like :MySearch Then '1'
Else '0' End;
If IsFound;
//String is Found
EndIf;


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: Technique (BIF) to perform a %LIKE% in RPG?

I don't see a BIF to perform a "fuzzy match" like the "LIKE" construct
in SQL.
Do you have a technique for me? Thanks! (or a URL example?)

Thanks!
