[OpenLayers-Users] Why this this CQL expression in format.read?

[Phil Scadden]

I have CQL filter of:
NOT TRANS_NAME LIKE 'OTS%'
or
TRANS_NAME NOT LIKE 'OTS%'
or
TRANS_NAME !LIKE 'OTS%'

All of these formats work when applied as filter to a layer (ie 
CQL_FILTER in a GET).
However, if I want to use this filter  in a WFS query, (protocol.read)  via
                        var format = new OpenLayers.Format.CQL();
                         filter = format.read(CQLStr);

Then format.read fails. What is the valid syntax?
