Problem

Symptoms: A customer used the global Select statement keyg=Fred@ to pick out certain records from a secondary merge file. The search only found those records containing Fred@; records containing Fred (without the @) were not selected. Solutions: The search found the proper records. Select evaluates the entire string, not just a portion of it. If a customer wants to search for records containing the word Fred and the string Fred@, the customer should use the following Select statement: keyg=Fred + keyg=Fred@
