     Posted: 23 Apr 2009 at 8:17am
i have dumped all my sql into a command... works great but i want to be able to use parameters...
 
i have created startDate, EndDate, Recruiter, and OrgCenter
 
the dates work fine..
[DateField] between {?StartDate} and {?EndDate}
 
however im having issues when i try to use the LIKE command...
 
[RecruiterIDField] like {?Recruiter}
 
both are strings... any suggestions?

Like usually has parentheses.  If the parameter is a single value, use =, if there are multiple values separated by commas may not work as the parameter is really not formatted for a like.
 
You might want to use whatever is similar to CHARINDEX...namely is the id in the parameter (make sure that you check for uniqueness)

the goal here is to be able to select a single persons record or ALL records...

the parameter could be set..

{?Recruiter} = 29122 (a recruiter ID)

or {?Recruiter} like '%'

well you could try adding single quotes around the {?Recruiter} something like

RecruiterIDField] like '+{?Recruiter}+'
 
but there will need to be multiple single quotes to signify the actual single quote you would type in a sql command.
 
I am not a pro at the command sql, since I use stored procs to retrieve all data for reports.
