Re: Embedded SQL problem

Danny,

Because in the first version you pass a fixed length variable, containing
spaces after the 'interesting' part and in the second version you pass a
trimmed literal, which is automatically cast to a variable length string.

Define qcranesub as varchar(12) and you should be alright..

Embedded SQL problem

Hi All,



Have a problem in understanding why one method is working and another

not.

Try to declare a cursor with a select .. When field like ...



Fields: craneSub char(10) & qcraneSub char(12)



The two versions

1. Not working



qcraneSub = '%' + %trim(craneSub) + '%';

exec sql

declare c1 cursor for

select *

from AKA0REP

where a0xhcd = :qcraneID and

a0jxce like :qcraneSub;



2. Working



exec sql

declare c1 cursor for

select *

from AKA0REP

where a0xhcd = :qcraneID and

a0jxce like '%' concat trim(:craneSub) concat '%';



Anyone an idea why the first option is not working?



Danny
