Martin,
Not true! Selection uses external format data. Where a field with a
conversion code is compared with a
constant, the constant is converted to internal form prior to the
comparison. The LIKE operator works the
other way around and converts the data to its external form as it couldn't
work any other way.
I think Mats is correct.

The 'field' in question is an EVAL expression, so doesn't have its own
conversion code unless you explicitly state it using the CONV keyword. Hence
the confusion over the result.
