Using Like in X++

In SQL it is common to use like when querying data.  For example, the following SQL statement queries the CustTable table for all customers that begin with '12':

select * from CustTable where AccountNum like '12%'

It is also possible to use like in X++ syntax.  The following X++ statement queries the CustTable table for the same data:

CustTable custTable;
AccountNum accountNumFilter;
accountNumFilter = '12*';
select custTable where custTable.AccountNum like accountNumFilter;
