Also, I have standardized on using quoted text values in my IN clauses because then RSTYLE will not pick them up as new words and will not change them in any way. RSTYLE basically takes a hands off approach to quoted text and numbers.

No.

The "IN" string should not be a problem.

To test and understand how R:BASE intelligently parses the "IN" string, try
the following two examples:

-- Example 01:

CONNECT RRBYW16
PRINT INVOICE WHERE CustID IN (100,105,127) OPTION SCREEN

-- Examnple 02:

CONNECT RRBYW16
PRINT EmployeeList WHERE EmpLName IN (Wilson,Smith,Hernandez) OPTION SCREEN

Notice that in both examples, with INTEGER and TEXT items in "IN" clause,
the WHERE parameters are evaluated accordingly.

That is your tip of the day!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
