Incosistent execution from One Env to Other

Question

Hi ,
I am working on application which has search page .It allows user to search PO's based on certain parameters ,ie ,like PO#,Customer Name & customer Number(i have lov for this), Start date ,end date ,etc.
While running this search page on local machine and in Dev environment, it returns results based on different values mentioned for the attributes described above except for Customer Name/Number.
When search is performed based on customer Name on local machine instance, it returns the resultset , however, for the same criteria ,it doesnt return the resultset when executed on Dev instance of Oracle Apps 11.5.10 .
I have already doublechecked the code ,database connection ..but no success.
Any ideas where things could be wrong from my local instance to Oracle apps dev instance ??
i would really appreciate .
thanks

Hi ,
so i finally figured the Sql string on dev instance v/s local instance (Jdev and local OC4J). Seems like on the local instance it generates the query with "Like" clause for Customer column , however , on Dev server instance it equates the value of customer with the bind parameter .
ie , for example Customer Value as compared in the application now is concatenation of Customer Name + Customer Number
Something like - WAL-MART CHINA(123234)
So the query on the dev server is
select * from (
Select customer_name||'('||customer_number||') customer
from xyz )where customer = :1
-- this fails since it equates to WAL-MART CHINA
Query on Local instance
select * from (
Select customer_name||'('||customer_number||') customer
from xyz )where customer like :1
-- This runs fine since % covers the customer_number while comparing Customer_Name value to it
any idea why i am seeing this descrepancy from Dev instance to local instance??
thanks
