Can a wildcard character be use in an IN statement? If not, can and IN statement be combined with a LIKE statement in order to utilize a Wildcard character?

I don't think you can use a wild card in an in statement

but you could write

where (somefield in ('AAA','BBB','CCC') or somefield like 'D%')
