As others have stated, there is not built in function to do what you want. You'll need an OR in your comparison.

>>>myDept='TH,BR'
>>>Is there a function that returns .T. if either "TH" or "BR" is in myString?
>>>
>>>?INLIST(myString,'TH,BR') returns .F.
>>>?INLIST(myString,'TH','BR') returns .F.
>>>?'TH,BR' $ myString returns .F.
>>>
>>>myString is a string, listing (dept code + product code)s, separated by commas. The first 2 chars is Dept code, followed by the product code (example: OP is the dept code, 101 is the product code, etc.)
>>>myDept is a string, listing department codes (separated by commas).
>>>What I'm looking for is a function that will return .T. if any one of the department codes listed in myDept is in myString.

>>>Is there such a thing?
>>>Thanks all!
