>The values aren't actually in a series. I'm just using the series to define the problem.

Other than creating a script if the number of values was moderate (up to about 20), my solution was usually to insert them into a single column cursor and then ...where fld1 in (select dummyfld from crsValues)... which works in SQL and DBF. The limit for SQL is actually higher, and I was able to insert about a hundred values into a SPT command, but then just found that I don't need to do that at all - found a better way for that particular case, and another case didn't pop up since.
