Passing a parameter with Like
Posted on 2012-12-21
I have a query that displays voided transactions, and I am passing a parameter value to the WHERE clause with like but it is not returning any rows, I know I am missing something but I can't seem to figure out what.
declare @ITEM char(1000)
set @ITEM = 'ATIGM9130'
SELECT
[Company]='NAME',
[Source]=cast('History' as varchar(7)),
[Doc_Type]=CASE SOP30200.SOPTYPE when 1 then 'QUOTE' when 2 then 'ORDER' when 3 then 'INVOICE' when 4 then 'RETURN' when 5 then 'BACKORDER' else '' end,
[Doc_Number]=SOP30200.SOPNUMBE,
SOP30300.ITEMNMBR,
SOP30300.ITEMDESC,
SOP30300.QUANTITY,
SOP30200.ORIGNUMB,
[Doc_Date]=SOP30200.DOCDATE,
[GL_Posting_Date]=SOP30200.GLPOSTDT,
[Invoice_Date]=SOP30200.INVODATE,
SOP30200.FUFILDAT,
SOP30200.ACTLSHIP,
SOP30200.LOCNCODE,
SOP30200.BCHSOURC,
[Batch_No]=SOP30200.BACHNUMB,
SOP30200.CUSTNMBR,
SOP30200.CUSTNAME,
SOP30200.ADDRESS1,
SOP30200.ADDRESS2,
SOP30200.CITY,
SOP30200.[STATE],
SOP30200.CNTCPRSN,
SOP30200.PHNUMBR1,
SOP30200.PHNUMBR2,
SOP30200.SHIPMTHD,
[Posting_Status]=CASE SOP30200.PSTGSTUS when 0 then 'NOT POSTED' when 2 then 'POSTED' else 'UNKNOWN' end,
[Void_Status]=CASE SOP30200.VOIDSTTS when 1 then 'VOIDED' else '' end,
--[Message] = CASE SOP30200.VOIDSTTS when 1 then 'Voided By will be the Batch_No for the transaction.' else '' end,
[Voided By]= CASE SOP30200.VOIDSTTS when 0 then '' else SOP30200.BACHNUMB end,
IV00101.ITMCLSCD

the query syntax is correct. may be there is something wrong with the logic.
for example:
- may be you need to replace AND with OR.
- make sure ITEMNMBR is varchar...
WHERE ( IV00101.ITMTRKOP = 2 )
AND ( SOP30200.SOPTYPE <> 1 )
AND ( SOP30300.ITEMNMBR LIKE '%' + @ITEM + '%' )
for example:
- may be you need to replace AND with OR.
- make sure ITEMNMBR is varchar...

That (commented) subquery of select Value from dbo.parmstolist(@ITEM, ',') points to that @item contains more than one value?

If I just use the @ITEM param without the LIKE and enter the full item number value it works just fine. the (select Value from dbo.parmstolist(@ITEM, ',') is a stored proc that allows me to pass several values separated by a comma, which also works if I enter multiple complete Item numbers which I don't want do do. Adding an OR does not filter on the parameter value.

The cause could be multiple and not necessarily the LIKE clause condition. It is possible that the INNER JOIN conditions filter out the results or maybe in a different WHERE clause condition.
My advice is to run a query only with count to see which condition is actually causing the filtering out of the rows:
If you will get rows aftec commenting the LIKE condition it means that there are no ITEMNUMBERs with that format: %ATIGM9130%

instead of declaring @item as char(1000) declare it as varchar(1000).
declare @ITEM varchar(1000)
set @ITEM = 'ATIGM9130'
