RDOHELP72.HLB  —  Cond expr, Format  STARTING_WITH
  (B)0starting-with-clause =

  qqq> value-expr qqqwqqqqq>qqqqqwqq> STARTING WITH qqq> value-expr qq>
                     mqq> NOT qqqj

    If a condition contains STARTING WITH, the condition is true if
    the first characters of the first string expression match the
    second string expression. In most cases, the value expressions
    in a STARTING WITH clause evaluate to text strings, but STARTING
    WITH also operates on numeric data types.

                                   NOTE

       STARTING WITH is case sensitive; it considers uppercase and
       lowercase forms of the same letter to be different.

    If either of the string expressions in a STARTING WITH clause is
    null, the result is null.
