AW: Looking for % -- MIDRANGE-L

Sorry about the auto-complete of my mobile (even worse within the wrong language)
Here a readable version of the proposed SELECT statement:

SELECT *

From YourTable

Where YourText Like '%!%%' Escape '!'

Another way for selecting Textes that include at least a single % sign would be to use either the scalar function POSSTR or LOCATE

SELECT *

From YourTable

Where PosStr(YourText, '%') > 0

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are at V7r1 (hooray) When I have to locate records that contain a string in a certain field, I use Select * from filename where field like'%abcde%'
But what do you use if you are looking for the character %

I tried google search it, but google search doesn't like %

As always, any and all responses welcome
