Tim,

There is a slide in one of Jon Sayles' presentations titled "IN Conditional Operator - Searching through arrays in a single statement"

I suggest doing a search through the RBD help for "sysvar.arrayIndex" (since searching on 'in' will get a lot of hits!)

in will search for a value in an array, and set the variable sysvar.arrayIndex to the array index where the value was found. Avoids coding up a loop.
I have no idea if this performs better than an explicit loop or not, but certainly is cleaner style-wise.

subject: [EGL-i] lookup value in an array

I have an array of several hundred elements. Is there a way to lookup the
index the value is at without having to manually loop though the array.
