Just to expand on that, as you are using LIKE, if your host variable is say
CHAR(8) and you move "ABCD%" to it then in many cases the host variable is
automatically right-padded with spaces (COBOL and PL/1 certainly, probably
many others) and actually contains "ABCD%   " (3 spaces on the end).

Make sure in your code to pad your data with the % wildcard e.g. your host
variable in this case would contain "ABCD%%%%" and that might fix your
problem.
