This example demonstrates generic search using the LANSA SELECT_SQL command with a variable search value. Additionally it shows how the SQL LIKE comparison can be used. This example works on both the iSeries and PC. A common use for this technique would be text searching.
The example function uses the Personnel System demonstration material. It shows how to locate all employees whose employee number matches a specified string.
Notes and suggestions
Note all the restrictions on the name and length of field #SETCND in the example.
In PC environments, if there is no PSLMST file in library DC@DEMOLIB, this function will need to be recompiled before being run.
