Sum on like wildcard - replacing decode statement

I need to replace a decode statement with some other process.



currently the old DBA's code reads:


sum(decode(status 'PENDING', 1, 0)) PENDING



We added several new "PENDING" entries.  I need to rewrite it as:
sum(decode(status 'PENDING%', 1, 0)) PENDING



decode fails here.  Does anyone have a working example of a case
statement or similar code?



thanks,



Don
