I am assuming you spelled set exact on wrong and that was what you meant. I was going to try that before posting this thread, but in looking at the help under that command, it implies that the set exact on and == are two seperate things. It even gives a chart with how conditions will work using == with set exact on and without which implies they function differently, Any ideas?

>>When comparing data with a condition you have to use the == to get an exact match with characters. It is often nice to use the INLIST function to list multiple values possible in a condition. Say "7", "25", and "39" are possible values and you don't use the ==, then something like "75" would be true even when you don't want it to be. You could write out each condition with the == and be OK, but is there any way to apply the == (exact match) condition while using an INLIST function?
