I tried 

```
sb.append(" and T1.OU_TYPE_CD <> /'NOC/' ");
sb.append(" and T1.OU_TYPE_CD <> ''NOC'' ");
sb.append(" and T1.OU_TYPE_CD <> 'NOC' ");

```

Nothing working. What am I doing wrong here? `T1.OU_TYPE_CD` is the column name and `NOC` is the value in it. I want to check `T1.OU_TYPE_CD` value is `NOT NOC`.
