Parsing values from PDA to Teradata SQL

Good day all

I am trying to pass a variable, lets call it %UserInput% in Power Desktop Automate
to a Teradata SQL statement that gets executed as part of the flow.
In my SQL code I have a LIKE function ie: Where Name LIKE ‘%lookup-value-goes-here%’
How would I parse the PDA variable into the LIKE statement, as the LIKE statement requires the % characters in front and after the ‘name-goes-here’
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

although link below is not using variable but to escape % either %% is used or \%.

Tried both %% and \%

Both of them are not working

Any idea how to have the SQL statement to include wildcard % in for the 'like' or 'not like'

e,.g.
like '%text%'
