Are you creating a DS with a percent sign, the string, then the percent sign? One solution might be to code a %Trim operation with the token, and the percent signs together, ex. LikePhrase = '%' + %Trim(SearchArg) & '%'; If you make LikePhrase a VARYING alpha variable, it should eliminate the spaces. I am not familiar with the way RPG passes the var to SQL, but for anything else, this would work.
