Profit Centers(CEPCT) selection with Wild Characters(*) condition

Question

HI, I'm trying to select Profit centers from CEPCT table for the given profit center parameter. here I'm trying with wild characters.
for example: 1.
* check if wild character exists
    FIND c_st IN p_i_profit_ctr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
* replace * with %
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF c_st IN p_i_profit_ctr WITH c_pr.
* get profit center list for given pattern
      SELECT prctr  "Profit Center
             ktext  "General Name
          FROM cepct INTO TABLE t_profit_ctr
        WHERE spras = c_en              "english language
        AND   prctr LIKE p_i_profit_ctr.   "profit center
CEPCT table data is:
Profit Center
0000001000  
0000002000  
CORPORATE   
(1) when I try with C*, i'm getting properly.
(2)when I try with 1, I'm getting it properly.
(3) when I try with 1*, not getting data even if 1000 is available. this is beacuse leading zeores in the table.
Could anyone please help me out how do I write a qeury to rectrive the above. (Note: we may not be sure how many zeroes to be included, I hope this is not good practive to include zeroes because in case of 200/2000 which will not work and for chars which will not be good code)
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Its better to specify a range for profit center in the selection screen and he use in your query as follows:
Example :
ranges r_profcent FOR GLPCA-RPRCTR.
Query to fetch Range:
SELECT PRCTR INTO R_PROFCENT-LOW
  FROM CEPC
  WHERE ( PRCTR BETWEEN '0000001111' AND '0000009999'
    OR PRCTR = 'DUMMY' )
    AND KOKRS = '1000'.
    R_PROFCENT-SIGN = 'I'.
    R_PROFCENT-OPTION = 'EQ'.
    APPEND R_PROFCENT.
Use of range in Query:
  SELECT  REFDOCNR RPRCTR BLDAT  BUDAT
  FROM GLPCA CLIENT SPECIFIED
  APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB1
  WHERE RCLNT = SY-MANDT
    AND RPRCTR IN R_PROFCENT
    AND RACCT IN GLACNO
Hope it could help you out.
