After too much (st,gr,f)umbling, here are v5.5.1 syntactical workarounds:
select...where...like '$1%' [valid syntax *until* v5.5.1]
can be replaced with:
select...where...like '$1'||'%'
or select...where...like concat('$1','%')
and
select...where...like upper('%$1%') [also *formerly* valid]
can be replaced with:
select...where...like upper('%$1'||'%')
or select...where...like upper('%'||'$1'||'%')
or select...where...like upper(concat('%$1','%'))
but*not*select...where...like upper(concat('%','$1','%')) [invalid]
[concat only works on 2 operands]

I don't have a 5.5 to test, but I would try the construct:
... LIKE CONCAT($1, '%')
and see if that is accepted.

After TSM v5.5.1 upgrade, the following command syntax is invalid:
select...where...like '$1%'
This syntax was accepted in TSM scripts through TSM v5.5.0.3,
but our local scripts are broken after the upgrade.
Maybe I'm just too tired; is there a more appropriate technique to
concatenate $1 and % to enable these scripted comparisons?
