Hi All,
I need any functions or suggestions to implement the LIKE and SOUNDEX operator in datastage.
Eg:- table.column like '%XXXX%'
and also the function
Eg. Upercase(Soundex(Trim Leading Trailing(table.column)))
I am converting some sql scripts to datastage jobs,the issue is I have to implement the LIKE part also in datastage because the source is a file.
Any inputs most appreciated.
Regards,
Xavi

Soundex is Soundex and really should behave identically across platforms. Have you found that not to be the case?

My Bad. The function is based on the standard, open algorithm for SOUNDEX evaluation
