SELECT * FROM SFPARMS WHERE KEYFIELD LIKE &KEY

After creating it:

CRTQMQRY QMQRY(RUNSQLTST) SRCFILE(QQMQRYSRC)

I ran this from the command line:

STRQMQRY QMQRY(RUNSQLTST) SETVAR((TEST ”’RSE%”’))

Note the extra quotes around the value. This ran correctly and select everything that started with RSE.

I hope this helps.
