You can also go this way:<br />
<br />
IF(Len(@pname) &gt;&nbsp;0) <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;select 'arc.contact_name LIKE ''' + @pname + '%'' AND ' <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ELSE <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;select ''
</div>


You can also go this way:

IF(Len(@pname) > 0)
            select 'arc.contact_name LIKE ''' + @pname + '%'' AND '
      ELSE
            select ''
