When making a string comparison with the @ wildcard, the common convention is to use the wildcard string on the right side of the comparison. The reason for this convention is that the "@" character is only treated as a wildcard on the right side and a literal character on the left side. Take for example a string comparison between "abc" and "a@c" used in alternating sides.

C_BOOLEAN($yResult1;$yResult2) $yResult1:=("abc"="a@c") $yResult2:=("a@c"="abc")

For the first result,"a@c" is treated as the wildcard string where the wildcard will take effect and the boolean evaluates to True. For the second result, "a@c" is treated as a literal string where the wildcard is completely ignored and the boolean evaluates to False.



In short, always be sure to use any strings with wildcards on the right side of the comparison in order for the "@" character to take effect.
