I only included the first two elements in my example. In the original there were 5 eelements.

However, the number of elements doesn't matter. For each element the system has to do a compare, just like the IF statement.

Did anyone ever suggest?

If %Lookup(status:validstatus:1:2) <> 0;
Endif;

noticed that I've told it to only look at the first two elements of the
array.

The IF statements can be soft coded as well.

ie

if STATUS = validstatus(1)
or STATUS = validstatus(2)
etc

You are right of course. I don't know what I was thinking.
