Brad,
 
If you really want stuff that doesn't appear in either array, <@random> will usually work. :)
 
If you want elements from one array that are not in the other array you can use <@filter>.
<@filter array=array1 expr="!(@@array2 contains #1)">  (this assumes both arrays have 1 column )
 
If you want elements from either array that are not in both arrays, you can use the above <@filter> twice and add the results together. 
<@assign local$array3 <@filter array=array1 expr="!(@@array2 contains #1)">>
<@addrows array=local$array3 value=<@filter array=array2 expr="!(@@array1 contains #1)">>
 
Unfortunately the server will throw an error processing empty arrays, so you may want to test for empty before using <@filter> or <@addrows>.
 
Dave Shelley.

Subject: Witango-Talk: array different

Hello,
 
Is there a metatag that takes 2 arrays and creates an array of the records that don't appear in either array?  A reverse @union.
