I have just encountered an inconsistency between the native UniData select and 
the PICK flavored select.

>From a PICK flavored account, it I use the lower case "sselect" to force 
>native UniData syntax, I get:
  sselect ITMMST WITH F2 LIKE "...J1A..." (6,213 keys - wrong)
If I immediately follow this with the PICK select:
  SELECT ITMMST WITH F2 = "[J1A]" (No keys - correct)

These two statements SHOULD return the same results.  Interestingly, if I use a 
less restrictive select (search for J1 instead of J1A), I get the following:
  sselect ITMMST WITH F2 LIKE "...J1..." (188 keys which is correct)

I am guessing that the UniData flavor is treating the J1A as something else, 
but until I can figure out what it is doing, I can not come up with a 
work-around.
