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.
