Re: lookups and performance

Hi Rick,

FWIW, %lookup has a 4th parm -- number of elements to search.  In other
words, load 100 elements of a 1000-element array and do

    x = %lookup(SearchFor: Array: StartElem: #ElemToSearch)

With a binary search, I'm not sure there'd be a significant increase in
performance.

hth,
