How do I select all records with values =4316% and yet exclude those values = 4316S*?
In other words, 43161234 is selected, 4316A345 is selected but 4316S 12 is excluded.
Thanks

Like this...

SELECT *

FROM (--==== Test data

SELECT '43161234' AS Value UNION ALL

SELECT '4316A345' UNION ALL

SELECT '4316S112') td

WHERE Value LIKE '4316[^S]%'

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
