Query with LIKE

Question

Hello,
Why does this work:
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemName Like '%%[%0]%%'
this also:
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName,
(SELECT t1.price FROM itm1 t1 WHERE t1.itemcode = t0.itemcode AND t1.pricelist = 2) AS Verkooppr
FROM OITM T0
but this does not work:
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName,
(SELECT t1.price FROM itm1 t1 WHERE t1.itemcode = t0.itemcode AND t1.pricelist = 2) AS Verkooppr
FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemName Like '%%[%0]%%'
What is wrong?

Answer 1

Hello, try this, it works on my SBO
/*SELECT FROM [dbo].[OITM] T0*/
declare @ItemName as varchar(100)
/* WHERE */
set @ItemName = /* T0.ItemName */ '[%0]'
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName,
(SELECT t1.price FROM itm1 t1 WHERE t1.itemcode = t0.itemcode AND t1.pricelist = 2) AS Verkooppr
FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.ItemName Like '%' + @ItemName +  '%'

Solution
The following query is an example for how to define variables in long
queries rather than using "Fixed Declares".
You need to use exactly the same template as follows, do not delete
"comments" from this query.
The only changes you need to do :
   1. In the first and in the fifth rows you need to select the table to which you would like to relate the variable e.g. in this example, the variable is related to the table VPM1 - 'Payments to Vendors - Rows'.
   2. In the fourth and in the eighth rows you need to select the field to which you would like to define the variables e.g. in this example, the variable is the field 'DueDate'.
/SELECT FROM .[VPM1] T0/
declare @fromdate as datetime
/* WHERE */
set @fromdate = /* T0.DueDate */ '[%0]'
/SELECT FROM .[VPM1] T1/
declare @tilldate as datetime
/* WHERE */
set @tilldate = /* T0.DueDate */ '[%1]'
select OVPM.docnum, VPM1.dueDate,VPM1.CheckNum, VPM1.Branch,
VPM1.BankCode, VPM1.CheckSum, OVPM.CardName,
case
when OPCH.docnum is null then VPM2.docEntry
else OPCH.docnum
end as 'docnum'
from OVPM INNER join VPM1 on OVPM.docnum = VPM1.docnum
left join VPM2 LEFT JOIN OPCH ON VPM2.DocEntry = OPCH.DocEntry
on OVPM.docnum = VPM2.docnum
where OVPM.Canceled = 'N' AND VPM1.DueDate >=@fromdate AND
VPM1.DueDate <=@tilldate+
