Hey All,

Got a quick one for all of you...

I am implementing a stored procedure and I cant seem to get a LIKE clause to
work with a variable passed in:

SHORT VERSION OF CODE:
=========================

CREATE PROCEDURE GetContacts @alpha varchar(1)  AS

SELECT Contacts_Main.company
FROM Contacts_Main
WHERE (Contacts_Main.company LIKE '@alpha%')
ORDER BY Contacts_Main.company

===========================

When I turn on execution plan I see that the variable was never escaped to
its value...now I assume this is because the variable is inside of ' '
marks, what would the syntax for this look like?

Thanks in advance!
John
