Re: Like string in embedded SQL

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,

As I see it, what you are searching for is the string '%:InSearchString%'.
What happens if you change "InSearchString" to include the percentage
points, as in:

InSearchString = '%' + %trim(InSearchString) + '%' ;

?
and then:

Where OUT132 Like(:InSearchString);
