Just remove the parenthesis around the %...%.
You may also code:
Upper(YourColumn) like '%' concat Upper(Trim(:YourVar)) concat '%'
Or Upper(yourColumn2) like '%' concat Upper(Trim(:YourVar)) concat '%'

Betreff: SQL find a string in multiple fields
I have a "search string" field to scan over multiple fields...
currently we are doing this with RPG example:
if s1xcnt = *blanks or
%scan(%trim(s1xcnt):%xlate(lw:up:mnujob)) > 0 or
%scan(%trim(s1xcnt):%xlate(lw:up:mnuonm)) > 0) ;
I am attempting to do this in a where clause, but not getting it right
where UPPER(mnujob) like('%.......%) or
UPPER(mnuonm) like(%......%)
I have tried doing various %trim commands, I have tried doing this as both a
Prepared SQL statement, and inline...
I tried doing this with OmniFind, but that was overly complex with building
multiple index objects...
