Simple test in STRSQL SELECT * FROM QTEMP/RPG400 ....+. FNAME TIM TIMMY PETE ****** SELECT * FROM QTEMP/RPG400 WHERE FNAME LIKE 'TIM' No data selected for output. SELECT * FROM QTEMP/RPG400 WHERE FNAME LIKE 'TIM%' ....+. FNAME TIM TIMMY ****** So, in summary, yes, you do have to use the special characters. You previous experience was either due to some good mushrooms, or, you filled the size of the field. For example if I drop down the size of the name field. CREATE TABLE QTEMP/RPG400a (FNAME CHAR (3 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT) INSERT INTO QTEMP/RPG400b VALUES('TIM') SELECT * FROM QTEMP/RPG400a WHERE FNAME LIKE 'TIM' ....+ FNAME TIM ***** There's the exception to prove the rule.
