You need to be more specific. 

When you say attribute 4 or attribute 5 equals the values, do you mean that 
every value in attribute 4 or attribute 5 should equal each element of the 
stored list (in order?), or that all values of attribute 4 or attribute 5 
should be found anywhere in the stored list, or that any value of attribute 4 
or attribute 5 is equal to any element of the stored list, or that any value of 
attribute 4 or attribute 5 correlates with a value at the same position in the 
stored list. Are attribute 4 and 5 even multivalued (though strictly speaking, 
they are multivalued even if they have no elements)?

Depending on what you mean (and with the CUBS software, it could be any of 
those ;-), you could generate a jQL statement:

SELECT FILE WITH ATTR4 = "v1" "v2" "v3" ... OR WITH ATTR5 = "v1" "v2" "v3" ....

Then use the resulting list to drive JCOPY. But the semantics of the select may 
not be what you are trying for.

To be honest, it sounds like you are going about whatever it is you want to do, 
the wrong way. What you are trying to do will be very inefficient. Why don't 
you step back and say what you are trying to do, where this magic list is 
generated from and why it is generating a list. 

It would be very much more efficient to write a small program to do this and 
the program would take very little time to write. If this is going to be an 
application task that happens a lot, then you want a program that does the 
whole task and not have something else produce a list, then pick it up.
