Question

How can I pass these two value combination separated by AND/ as parameter value to stored procedure:

"8033301552*" OR "08033301552*"

or

"Taiwo*" AND "Ayedun*"

I mean do I need to create a string and pass it as parameter?

Answer 1

Officially not supported.

A workaround can be found at

What doesn’t work has nothing really to do with RS but has to do with Stored
Procedures in SQL Server. You cannot do the following in a stored procedure.
Let’s say you have a Parameter called @MyParams
Now you can map that parameter to a multi-value parameter but if in your
stored procedure you try to do this:
select * from sometable where somefield in (@MyParams)
It won’t work. Try it. Create a stored procedure and try to pass a
multi-value parameter to the stored procedure. It won’t work.
What you can do is to have a string parameter that is passed as a multivalue
parameter and then change the string into a table.
This technique was told to me by SQL Server MVP, Erland Sommarskog
For example I have done this
inner join charlist_to_table(@STO,Default)f on b.sto = f.str
So note this is NOT an issue with RS, it is strictly a stored procedure
issue.
Here is the function:

CREATE FUNCTION charlist_to_table 
                    (@list      ntext, 
                     @delimiter nchar(1) = N',') 
         RETURNS @tbl TABLE (listpos int IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL, 
                             str     varchar(4000), 
                             nstr    nvarchar(2000)) AS 
   BEGIN 
      DECLARE @pos      int, 
              @textpos  int, 
              @chunklen smallint, 
              @tmpstr   nvarchar(4000), 
              @leftover nvarchar(4000), 
              @tmpval   nvarchar(4000) 
      SET @textpos = 1 
      SET @leftover = '' 
      WHILE @textpos <= datalength(@list) / 2 
      BEGIN 
         SET @chunklen = 4000 - datalength(@leftover) / 2 
         SET @tmpstr = @leftover + substring(@list, @textpos, @chunklen) 
         SET @textpos = @textpos + @chunklen 
         SET @pos = charindex(@delimiter, @tmpstr) 
         WHILE @pos > 0 
         BEGIN 
            SET @tmpval = ltrim(rtrim(left(@tmpstr, @pos - 1))) 
            INSERT @tbl (str, nstr) VALUES(@tmpval, @tmpval) 
            SET @tmpstr = substring(@tmpstr, @pos + 1, len(@tmpstr)) 
            SET @pos = charindex(@delimiter, @tmpstr) 
         END 
         SET @leftover = @tmpstr 
      END 
      INSERT @tbl(str, nstr) VALUES (ltrim(rtrim(@leftover)), 
ltrim(rtrim(@leftover))) 
   RETURN 
   END 
GO
