Maybe lack of response is because the question isn't very clear. Your typing comma spearated invoice numbers into what? a file? a launch form? And then is it supposed to compare against something else like all values in a table? Can you give us an example of what you're trying to do to help clarify your question?

Hmmm, I think I could as well, if it didn't seem so much of a demand.

Have you actually tried anything at all yet? or are you just waiting for someone to do it for you?

Tony, I'm sure you have an appropriate daily rate you could apply.

test box - What? Is this a machine, a field, a text area, a ....
metadata column - you mean a field in a database table I guess?
Find out which numbers do not exist - in the database as compared to the entry, or the other way around?

If you type in the numbers in a html field that will get transported to webfocus as 1 &var, and if you want to find out which typed numbers are not in the database, you could do the following (rough steps):
1. build a repeat loop that will do a gettok for the next number
2. if no more number then exit the repeatloop, otherwise write the number to an intermediate file.
3. write a master file for the intermediate file with the numbers
4. do a MATCH FILE for the intermediate file and the database field, and do a AFTER MATCH HOLD OLD
5. Lastly, filter the hold file for records that have no value for the database field.

Hope this helps...

I suspect GamP is on the money, but this sort of thing is simple stuff.

I would bet virtual money that there are other examples in this forum already.
