Re: Like string in embedded SQL

Never mind. I figured it out.

InSearchString = '%' + InSearchString + '%';

Select Count(*)
From QTEMP/OUT132
Where OUT132 Like(:InSearchString);

where InSearchString is defined as 50a Varying works.

FWiW a 49-byte search-string will /break/ using that method. Using the SQL CONCAT instead [as suggested by others] to add the percent sign as both a prefix and a suffix may be better than either documenting a 48-byte limitation or adding a new\longer string host variable to accommodate the two additional bytes.
