Jeeva,

You can think of it this way

Filter on CHAR field always pads your filter to make it the length on comparison. So Request_Id = 'jeeva' becomes Request_Id = 'jeeva    ' The like does not remove the trailing spaces in a CHAR. Thus '%a' does not match 'a    ' IF you want where 'a' is anywhere in the string to work use '%a%' I have not compared Trim(col) like '%a' to '%a%', but I susoect '%a%' will be more efficient.

Please test and post your results.

Thanks,
