RelationalOperatorType.CONTAINS not working -- any solution/reason pls ??

Question

Hi,
I need to write search logic in which user enters a single character , and search result should contain all the strings that contains the character required.
I guess RelationalOperatorType.CONTAINS  is the correct one .
But its not giving result as desired.
Could anyone pls tell why its not working or any other way to achieve the search criteria  ?
Regards & Thanks ,
Vipin.

Answer 1

Hi Vipin,
Just check this thing.
Hope you will be filtering the data with respect to one field.Check for, whether the
data elements of the fields, the field you are using in your BAPI Wrapper and the corresponding back end field from where you are selecting the data for this field,
have the same length or not.
For example,
  The field in your BAPI Wrapper you want to do filtering is - FIELD_BAPI
  The field in the back end from where you are selecting data to fill the field - FIELD_BACKEND.
     The above mentioned fields may be different. But the properties of the two data elements should be the same. I mean,
For
   FIELD_BAPI    -              CHAR 60
   FIELD_BACKEND-          CHAR 70 or... like this..
  Check for this ..
One more thing,
   Make it sure that, one space is not there with your that character you are giving for filtering...
  Which is the persistence medium you are using ?. file system or DB2E ?.
Check this note for,
Note 668807 - Restrictions for DB2e
