I am having the following problem in an RPGLE program.  I cannot get the
system to properly perform the selection using the "Like" keyword and a
variable.

Here is some sample code that works:
C/Exec Sql
C+  Declare GetAltNam Cursor For
C+    Select ITEMCBS,
C+           THCKCBS,
C+           WDTHCBS,
C+           LNGTCBS,
C+           GRADCBS
C+      From ALTNAM,
C+           BRSHSPC
C+      Where ITEMCBS = ITEMAN And
C+            NAMEAN Like '10-1015%'
C+      Order By ITEMCBS
C/End-Exec

This search works great.

Obviously I do not want to hardcode the search criteria.  When I add the
following, the application should return the same information as above but
it does not.
C                   Eval      SearchValue = '10-1015%'
C                   Eval      SearchValueH = SearchValue
C                   Eval      SearchValue = '''' + %Trim(SearchValueH)+
C                             ''''
 *  Declare cursors.
C/Exec Sql
C+  Declare GetAltNam Cursor For
C+    Select ITEMCBS,
C+           THCKCBS,
C+           WDTHCBS,
C+           LNGTCBS,
C+           GRADCBS
C+      From ALTNAM,
C+           BRSHSPC
C+      Where ITEMCBS = ITEMAN And
C+            NAMEAN Like :SearchValue
C+      Order By ITEMCBS
C/End-Exec

I added a variable (I will later pass this as a parameter).  I put code in
to place single quotes around the search value.  Nothing is returned in the
result and I receive no error messages.

Does someone see the mistake I am making?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dwight Slessman

ps.  We are at V4R5 with database group PTF 4 on.
