Agnes,

Have a go at both possible solutions and see whether they work.
Difficult for me to test since I do not have access to chinese

solution 1)

pStartCode = 'A'
pEndCode  = 'Z'

select * ;
    from companytable ;
    where ( companytable.code between pStartCode and padr(rtrim(pEndCode), len(companytable.code), 'z') )

solution 2)

pStartCode = 'A'
pEndCode  = 'Z'

select * ;
    from companytable ;
    where ( companytable.code between pStartCode and pEndCode + chr(255) )
