How can I put asterisk in the beginning and end of a search parameter..?

Hi!
     I'm developing a program for a user where he wants a search parameter for the description about some purchase orders....
The problem is if the user want to make a search for any word he need to put asterisk in the beginning and end of the word because if the user don't put the asterisk the search will not find anything because the program don't know if the word is in the beginning of the description or in the end or in the middle...
How can I put one asterisk in the beginning and end of the search topic entered by the user internally in the program..? I was thinking using the concatenate function but for this will not work because the program think that the asterisk is part of the word and not..
The search parameter of the Description is in range.. (Select-Options).
Thanks for your help!!

Thanks keshav!
OK... and if I concatenate the asterisk latter I can make this search?
In the code desc_search is the select_option that I tell u. I use the DESCRIBE to see first if it is not initial... if desc_search have an entry then access the DELETE to remove all the records that are diferent from desc_search.. This desc_search will have the word with the asterisk... and the question is if it works if I use the concatenate before this... anyway I will try but I think that if I use the concatenate the program confuse and take the asterisk as part of the word..
DESCRIBE TABLE desc_search LINES desc_count.
  IF desc_count IS NOT INITIAL.
    DELETE core_table WHERE desc NOT IN desc_search.
  ENDIF.
Let u know if works!!
Thanks!

  • How can I put content on the AppleTV and have it STAY there??

    I want to put movies on the AppleTV and delete them from my computer. I want the movies to be persistently on the AppleTV How do I do that?

    Most important thing to realise is that AppleTV cannot be regarded as a storage or backup device - once content is on AppleTv you cannot get it back to your computer.
    Assuming you have a backup copy of a movie elsewhere in case your AppleTV fails or needs a factory restore you could either:
    - Show the files location using a right click on it in iTunes and delete it from the laptop drive directly but not delete the entry from iTunes. (Not ideal but apparently works)
    - Keep larger files on an external drive and change iTunes Preferences not to import to the main library - when the drive is connected you will be able to add new entries to iTunes and synce them. When disconnected iTunes won't delete them from AppleTV as again there's still an entry in the library, just that the file isn't available.
    These are workarounds - it's a shame you can't just drag and drop media to AppleTV manually rather than having to sync things.

  • How can I trim time off the beginnings and ends of songs in iTunes?

    I have some old recordings that I was able to put into iTunes, but some of them have dead air at the beginning and the end. Is there a way to trim that time off? Thanks

    Well, I easily made the track with which I had this problem into an AIFF file by going to control click and "Create AIFF version." It changed the play time just as I wanted, but I can't seem to convert it back to MP3! The manual says to change Import Settings--I did--but now even when I change from AIFF to MP3 the next time I open the settings it still says AIFF! Help! I want my settings for MP3! Also, there doesn't seem an easy control click way to change the AIFF file to MP3 as there was to change the MP3 file to AIFF--so now I have two of them--an MP3 file the wrong length, and and AIFF file the right length--when what I want is an MP3 file the right length!

  • How can I put favicons on the bookmarks bar?

    I am used to seeing favicons next to my bookmarks--in fact, I have several that have favicons only (such as Google Reader, ESPN). Can this happen with Safari (Windows)? After favicons, seeing all text bookmarks on the bookmarks bar is so 2000s.
    Sorry if this is the wrong category; I didn't see a Windows Safari version forum.

    *How Can I Put Lyrics On The Songs In The iPod Touch?!
    Read the response by Jim VanLeeuwen, but I might add a few comments:
    (a) Lyrics on the Touch are only supported if you have firmware 2.0 or later.
    (b) If you auto-sync your iPod, the changes you make to your library will be copied over to the Touch on your next sync. But if you manually manage the Touch I believe that you will need to delete the revised songs from the Touch and drag the new copies over. Although you can add lyrics directly to the songs that are on the Touch (if you manually manage) it is better to edit your library and replace the updated songs on the Touch. That way in case your Touch ever gets corrupted and you have to delete everything, you won't lose the lyrics (or any other tag changes you made directly on the Touch).

  • I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account.  How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

    I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account.  How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

    Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

  • How do I remove residual frames at the beginning and end of a video?

    I'm making a short clip with black slugs at the beginning and end. But there are two or three residual frames from the incoming clip after the black clip that stay at the beginning and end of the video and I can't remove them.  I've tried trimming the beginning and end of the video several different ways, and the frames won't disappear. They stay in the video when I make a DVD. The very first and very last frame have sprocket holes in them on the edge of the frame. I'm baffled. Is this an artifact of using the trial version?

    chances are they are from a fade.  have you zoomed in really really close and checked if there is a small fade in or fade out?  happens to me all the time, and with the fade out, you can't do anything to fix it (that I've found) except replacing the clip from your Browser.  See my similar question here:

    Hope that helps.

  • How can i do to see the master and text values of the Key figure 0UNIT

    Hi gurus,
    How can i do to see the master and text values of the Key figure 0UNIT, please step by step, i m in the key figure 0UNIT but i want to see if the UNIT  for example BX = BOX, something like this is that i want to check,  thanks!

    If you look at the unit tables, you will see the values and texts.  It's in SPRO, not in RSA1.  My access is limited on my system here, but the documentation says to go to t-code CUNI.  I believe in that tcode you can look at all of the unit equivalencies and what each unit's text is ..... like an ea means each; KG = Kilogram; etc...
    I am on an 3.x system, so in SPRO I go to BW CIG=>General Settings=>Check units of measurement.

  • How to calc the begining and end of every month (leap year)

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a method that returns the begining and end of next month.
    example:
    today is 2005-10-04
    so the method suppose to return:
    2005-11-01
    2005-11-31 //as it ends on the 31
    I came up with the code below - but I don't like it as I can't get the end of month + it's not safe.
    any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Peter
    Calendar gcToday = Calendar.getInstance();
              int month = gcToday.get(Calendar.MONTH);
              int year  = gcToday.get(Calendar.YEAR);
              month+=2;
              if(month>12) //beacuase of month+=2;
                   year++;
                   month=1;
              String nextMonth;
              if (month<10)                         
                   nextMonth=year+"-0"+month+"-01";
              else
                   nextMonth=year+"-"+month+"-01"; 

    Look at using the methods getActualMaximum() and getActualMinimum() in the Calendar class. Basically what I would do is set the calendar to the 15th of the month (well, really anything between 1 and 28) and then add() one to the current month. The Calendar will roll over the dates as needed.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • Can you adjust audio volume at the beginning and end of a clip?

    I want to add portions of songs into my iMovie videos. When I do that they abruptly start and end. Is there no way to adjust add a fade at the beginning and end of an audio clip?

    As said above, you cannot.
    The only work around is to edit audio in an external app.
    So please do suggest to Apple to add this feature in the next update.
