prior to SQL should get it.  For Like records you have to have the percent 
signs in the string or the SQL assumes you want an exact match to what you 
keyed.

Thanks,

Subject: Using the LIKE feature within a SELECT in Embedded SQL for RPG


    I am tring to use the LIKE function within my SELECT statement, and am 
having some 
    trouble with it.
    Both my prompt field and field I want to search are 30a.
    Ex:  I key "CANADIAN" on the prompt and want to return to my subfile 
any 
    records with "CANADIAN COAST GUARD" and "MOLSON CANADIAN" and "THE 
    CANADIANS WIN HOCKEY GOLD AGAIN".
    c/exec sql 

    c+ declare maincursor cursor for select * from wmmstr where 
    c+ :pname like wmname order by wmname 
    c/end-exec 
 
    Thanks,
    Pat.
