RE: Like in embedded SQL

You need to code if as LIKE '%200%'. Without the closing % it only matches on those locations that end in 200.

On the other hand, you may not want, for example, A200L, which this would select.

Hi,
Are there any issues when using LIKE in an SQL declare statement?
I have the following line:
/EXEC SQL
+ DECLARE C6 CURSOR FOR SELECT LPROD, LWHS, LLOT, LLOC, LOPB, LISSU,
+ LADJU, LRCT, LIALOC, LISTAT, WLSTS FROM ILIL01 JOIN ILM ON WWHS =
+ LWHS AND WLOC = LLOC WHERE LWHS = :KEYWHS AND LPROD = :PROD AND L
+ LOC LIKE '%200' ORDER BY WLSTS, LLOC FOR FETCH ONLY
/END-EXEC

It seems to work when it finds 11A200 or 22A200, but it is not returning
2A200. Any ideas? Thanks!
