Problem Note 30549: SAS SPD Server giving incorrect results for a LIKE statement with a escape clause
Prior to SAS SPD Server 4.4 TSM3, if you issued a SELECT statement containing a LIKE
clause, the results returned were incorrect. Here is an example of code that would
produce incorrect results:
proc sql;
select * from libname.table where x like 'abc\_xyz' escape '\';
quit;
If you issued the same code through a query with explicit pass-through, you would
receive a parsing error.
Changes have been made in SPD Server 4.4 TSM3 so that the server can handle the
SQL and return correct results, but SQL generated by SPD Server with a LIKE and
ESCAPE clause will still fail with a parsing error.
