![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
A dynamic prompt dependency may return incorrect results if the "CONTAINS" or "LIKE" operator has been used in the dependency filter. Instead of returning all values for the dependent prompt variable that contain the specific string or are like the pattern of characters, the filter only returns those values that are equal to the dependency condition.
The problem is caused by trailing blanks that are added to the "CONTAINS" or "LIKE" string in the WHERE clause that is automatically executed in an SQL step behind the scenes to produce the dependent list of parameter values. For example, the following WHERE clause is incorrectly used to filter the dependent values:WHERE ( ORIG_VAR CONTAINS "ABCDEFG " ) <===TRAILING BLANKS
The correct WHERE clause should be:
WHERE ( ORIG_VAR CONTAINS "ABCDEFG" ) <===NO TRAILING BLANKS
There is currently no circumvention for this problem.
