If myFld is a field in myTable, then this SELECT SQL statement will select all records from myTable where the value of myFld matches one of the elements in myArray. The example below illustrates this

create table myTable ( myFld c(10))
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("a")
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("b")
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("c")
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("d")
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("e")
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("f")
insert into myTable (myFld) value ("g")
dimension myArray[3]
myArray[1] = 'a'
myArray[2] = 'b'
myArray[3] = 'c'
select * from myTable where ascan( myArray, myFld) <> 0 into cursor myCursor
browse	&& 3 records: 'a', 'b', and 'c'
