158 is fine, 159 gives an error. I found this in help under SQL Language Improvements :
Number of arguments in an IN( ) clause - Visual FoxPro 9.0 removes the limit of 24 values in the IN (Value_Set) clause for the WHERE clause. However, the number of values remains subject to the setting of SYS(3055) - FOR and WHERE Clause Complexity. For functionality changes concerning the IN clause, see Changes in Functionality for the Current Release.
