I forgot to include the quotes at both ends (before the first % and after
the second %). Not near a IBM i right now, but it something like double
quotes ('''').

Alan,

As I see it, what you are searching for is the string '%:InSearchString%'.
What happens if you change "InSearchString" to include the percentage
points, as in:

InSearchString = '%' + %trim(InSearchString) + '%' ;

?
and then:

Where OUT132 Like(:InSearchString);

HTH,

I need to look for a string like 'Access plan not updated' in an embedded
SQL statement in an RPG program.

If I do the following in STRSQL it works.

SELECT count(*) FROM out132 WHERE OUT132
Like('%Access plan not updated%')

but the following in embedded SQL does not work.

Exec Sql Select Count(*)
Into :Count
From QTEMP/OUT132
Where OUT132 Like('%:InSearchString%');

When I look at the complied there is no data field being moved in so
obviously it is not seeing the ':' in the string.

Any ideas how to code this so it sees the search string?

I know that one solution would be to use dynamic SQL but would like to
ignore that options if I could.
