Hi Rob,

You're right, a space isn't a great delimiter. However, if you store the list of values externally in a file, 1 per record, and then load them one time into a single variable, you could use *hival for a delimiter. Or you could go with Joe Pluta's idea of %lookup and load them into an array, then use

Flag = (%lookup(MyFld : MyArray) > *zero);
