Try

"'536870940' LIKE " + "(" + """" + "%" + """" + " + $\USER$ + " + """" + "%"
+ """" + ")"

I think this should do the trick as the ARS would resolve this to

'536870940' LIKE ("%" + $\USER$ + "%")

And if it does that it should work

Subject: Question: External


I'm trying to create a "console" where users can select various queries.

To do this I am trying to user the External command.

I am using an active link to set fields to a character field:

" '\536870940' LIKE "$\%USER%$" "

The manual says to use \

Problem is now the set fields is setting the field with the \ in it.

This is my first time doing this and i'm a little confused.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
