Eric,
How would LOCATE be used in my sample SQL ?
select FFORMID,
char(max(Case when FFIELDNAM like '%Fld1'
then trim(ffieldval) end),30) as fld1 ,
char(max(Case when FFIELDNAM like '%Fld2'
then trim(ffieldval) end),30) as fld2
from formfld where FFORMID =
'cb3c0801-93a8-1940-ad63-0004ac10'
group by fformid

A close look at your sample SQL shows I should have recommended LOCATE() instead.
LOCATE(FFIELDNAM, 'Field1') > 0 indicates the value "Field1" is in string FFIELDNAM.
