To use the LIKE predicate and be able to find strings with the wildcard characters, you have to escape them. You do this using an ESCAPE expression. You want to use a character that won't otherwise be in any of the values tested.

LIKE ’AAAA+%BBB%’ ESCAPE ’+’

means that it will match values that start with AAAA%BBB - the final % sign is a wildcard, the first one is a true % sign.

Found this in the reference manual under predicates in the language elements chapter (2, that is).
