LIKE - Is Like #

The Is Like (Like) operator checks to see if the value in Operand 1 is the same as the value in Operand 2. (Operand 2 must be a masked string using acceptable Oracle search criteria).

Statement

If the employee is in any sales department, give a bonus of $500.00 (stored in PC 5000).

Line	CMD	OT	Operand 1	OPER	OT	Operand2	OT	Operand3	If Goto	Else GoTo
00010	IF	DB	DDP.DEPARTMENT_CODE	LIKE	A	SALES%			00100	99999
00100	LET	PC	5000	EQ	N	500			99999
99999	EXIT								99999

In the example shown above, if the employee’s department began with the string ‘Sales’, the UserCalc would go to line 100 to give the bonus. Acceptable department codes would be ‘Sales-001’ or ’SalesHeadOffice’ but not ‘GroupSales’.
