I need to search a data field for records containing the character "%" but since this character is a wildcard character, it returns all records instead. Does anyone know how to search for this special character in Discoverer???

"Last_name like '%'" - returns all last names instead of names containing the character %.


All assistance appreciated.

You could try

replace(Last_name, '%', '?') like '?'
