Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '%' to data type int.

This is driving me crazy

I run this query in the sql management studio and it works fine. but seems like it doesn't work in the stored procedure

Can I not use a LIKE '%' in an integer field?

here is my stored procedure

USE [ReefJunkies]
GO
/****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[SearchLibraryFish]    Script Date: 11/06/2010 21:22:50 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchLibraryFish]
 
@CommonName Varchar(max),
@ReefCompatibilityID int,
@ReefCareLevelID int,
@ReefFamilyID int,
@FishTypeID int,
@ReefSpeciesID int,
@ReefDietID int,
@ReefTemperamentID int
 
 
AS

Like '%...' is a string comparison -- how is one number like another ?

To make this work, you would have to convert the integers to strings, then make the comparison.
