Does anyone know the syntax for pulling data that is "like" a particular format? For example, if I want to pull all course codes with a 0 as the second digit. I know in SQL I would use '%0%%'.

In WebFOCUS the syntax is:

WHERE field LIKE '_0%';

Even in SQL you should use exactly the same syntax Dan provided.

'%0%%' would actually retrieve all values with a 0 anywhere in your field. The double % at the end of the expression is also redundant.
