browse lookup - spped up selection

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

I do use the drop command.

Are you saying that you can create a selection set in a file and use that 
selection set name as you wish in any processing and if it does not match it 
will be dropped.

If that is the case that is virtually unknown by most people that I know (I 
probably don't know the right people.) Please note I am still on 4.8.

In any event, even if you can do that, I don't think that satisfies my speed 
issue as it still has to go through processing and if there is no match drop 
the record.

In my drop processing I am going through 5 conditions to determine if the 
record should be dropped. Will your approach speed things up?

Also when I use:

If: not selectionname

do I use the full name "sel.selectionname" or just "selectionname".

Thanks,

Dennis Malen
