Is it possible to use a parameter for LIKE / NOT LIKE - tsql

Question

I am attempting to pass parameters for LIKE / NOT LIKE and the % signs to make a dynamic query that runs based on what is passed from the application. I get an error though as TSQL is confused about the parameter for like/not like as its not Boolean. Is it possible to do it this way or am I going to have to write multiple if statements to check to see what parameters are being passed.
#fullName varchar(100), #SrchCriteria1 varchar(15), #SrchCriteria2 varchar(15),
#fullName1 varchar(100), #SrchCriteria3 varchar(15), #SrchCriteria4 varchar(15),
#fullName2 varchar(100), #SrchCriteria5 varchar(15), #SrchCriteria6 varchar(15),
#qualifer varchar(10), #qualifer1 varchar(10), #qualifer2 varchar(10)
SELECT d.*
FROM defendants_ALL d, #tmpFullname t1, #tmpFullname1 t2, #tmpFullname2 t3
WHERE d.combined_name + #qualifer + #SrchCriteria1 + t1.Item + #SrchCriteria2
and d.combined_name + #qualifer + #SrchCriteria3 + t2.Item + #SrchCriteria4
and d.combined_name + #qualifer + #SrchCriteria5 + t3.Item + #SrchCriteria6
EXEC uspJudgments #qualifier = 'LIKE', #qualifier1 = 'LIKE', #qualifier = 'NOT LIKE', #fullName = 'johns', #fullName1 = 'jim,j.', #SrchCriteria1 = '%', #SrchCriteria2 = '%', #SrchCriteria3 = '%', #SrchCriteria4 = '%', #fullName2 = 'johnson', #SrchCriteria5 = '%', #SrchCriteria6 = '%'
So that should return all combinations of jim johns and j. johns but will not include jim johnson and j. johnson. I know that is a rare combination but I couldn't think of a better one ATM that is more common.
Dynamic SQL:
DECLARE #Query NVarChar(1024)
SET #Query = 'SELECT d.* FROM defendants_ALL d, #tmpFullname t1, #tmpFullname1 t2, #tmpFullname2 t3' +
'WHERE d.combined_name' + #qualifier + #SrchCriteria1 + 't1.Item' + #SrchCriteria2 +
' and d.combined_name' + #qualifier + #SrchCriteria3 + 't2.Item' + #SrchCriteria4 +
' and d.combined_name' + #qualifier + #SrchCriteria5 + 't3.Item' + #SrchCriteria6

Answer 1

LIKE accepts an expression for the pattern, e.g. d.combined_name LIKE #SrchCriteria.
You are attempting to assemble a dynamic query. To do so, you need to create the entire query in a string and then use EXECUTE:
declare #Query as NVarChar(1024) = 'SELECT d.* FROM ...' +
'WHERE d.combined_name ' + #qualifer + #SrchCriteria1 + t1.Item + #SrchCriteria2 +
'...'
The statement may be assembled in several steps before being passed to EXECUTE.
