Got to love this list.

 * "A lot of code" 
 
 *  "Just look for *all'9' instead of blanks etc."   
 * Not %equal reset index and look for first *all'9' element
C                   Else 
C                   Eval      Y  =  1 
C                   Eval      BPCIALup  =  *ALL'9' 
C     BPCIALup      Lookup    BPCIASort(Y)                           99
C                   If        %Equal 

 * "A lot of code" 

 
 * "This could have been on any field in Array and been sorted. BPCIASort 
is 
 *     serveral fields my program"
 
C                   Sorta     BPCIASort 
 
 * Loop through
C                   Eval      X            = 1
C                   Dou       X            = 20000   or 
C                             BPCIASort(X) = *ALL'9'

 * "A lot of code"

 So people can find this if needed for search on these topics  Data
