Also, if anyone has ideas on processing the below line..... taking this and split and use it. the code written takes the fieldname cond value. My thoughts are to build arrays splitting on the (),or, and /condition include_1 (f7 ne 'CE' and f10 ne 'R' and f1 ne 'CE' and f8 ne 'LG' and f8 ne 'LI' and f8 ne 'LJ' and f8 ne 'LR' and f8 ne 'LU' and f8 ne 'LV' and f8 ne 'TL' and f8 ne 'TA' and (f4 eq 'E' or f4 eq 'G' or f4 eq 'W'))I'm working on a routine now, but if someone has done something like this already........
