[SOLVED] How to compare two string columns?

Hi All,

I am searching for a way to compare two fields where colA and colB are Varchar datatypes.
colA has a string which can be a part of colB.
I need to find all the rows where colA is a part of colB.

I am trying with LOCATE function in DB2, so I could do a sql passthru, but not successful.

Thanks for any help
