Yes, my mistake. Using multiqualified names causes no problems when
referring to them via "C" statements, but has/had issues when using them
at the "D" level and specifically for a like statement. I was wondering
if that maybe had some link with the SQL having issues with them due to
how it converts/swaps between the RPG code and the SQL code at the
pre-compiler/intermediate stage (something I have no knowledge about I
have to add, so was more of a "is it a similar problem" statement).

Ah, now there is something I hadn't considered. But, still, if
using multiqualified variable names in a LIKE keyword is a problem for
RPG, then surely IBM could address this -- too -- so that the SQL
precompiler won't arbitrarily restrict the same thing.
