Hi,
Below,the first query takes varchar but the second takes char.
How do I overcome this?
Thank you in advance



DECLARE @JOBID char(12)
set @JOBID = '1005644901'

select * from Audit_JobSS where JobKey in
(select JobKey from D_JobAttributes where JobID = @JOBID)
and LedgerKey = '20'

select SUM(TOTALAMOUNT) from F0902 where GBMCU = @JOBID
and AccountKey in (select AccountKey from D_Accounts where L1Description = 'Revenue')
and GBLT = 'HA'

JobID is varchar(12) so can take '1005644901'.
However gbmcu is chat(12) and takes ' 1005644901'
