I assume there are trailing blanks in your original field that are not
trimmed off.
If you specify '%ith' exactly the last 3 characters in your original field
have to be ith.

You may try WHERE RTrim(YourColumn) like '%ith'

Or WHERE Right(RTrim(YourColumn), 3) = 'ith'

An: RPG programming on the IBM i / System i
Betreff: Embedded RPG and the WHERE LIKE

SQL has opened pleasing choices, choices which may bite me in the end.
In the meantime though I am liking the LIKE.

The instructions say one thing; I am getting another thing, which probably
means I didn't see some paragraph somewhere.

As I understand it this is a valid statement:

"Select: "%" is wildcard (Smi% gets Smith, as does %ith and %mit%.) Case
sensitive."

2 out of 3 work. Smi% works. %mit% works. %ith does not work. The field is
defined as varying. Does anyone recognize what has gone wrong?

(As an aside, is there a way to make this not case sensitive?)
