IDCMCEXP24 - Both operands associated with operator CONTAINS must be alphanumeric

Reason:

If the CONTAINS relational operator is used, the left-hand operand must be an alphanumeric field from the object dataview and the right-hand operand must be an alphanumeric field, an alphanumeric literal, or an alphanumeric function. The relational operator CONTAINS can only be used in the WHERE clause of a FOR statement.

Action:

Check the syntax of the FOR statement and correct.
