[SOLVED] DB_LOOKUP with inequality filters

I understand that DB_LOOPUP is a great function to pull information from database without worry about joining the tables.

Like,

DB_LOOKUP(look_mf,srcfld1,lookfld1,srcfld2,lookfld2,returnfld)

will be same as

select returnfld from look_mf
where srcfld1 = lookfld1
and srcfld2 = lookfld2

What if I want to use inequality filter in the query like this

select returnfld from look_mf
where srcfld1 = lookfld1
and srcfld2 <> 'A'

Is there any way to utilize DB_LOOPUP for this kind of query?

Not exactly what you want, but it's the closest I could think of. And instead of DB_LOOKUP you'll be using DB_INFILE. 

TABLE FILE CAR
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' OR 'JAPAN';
WHERE BODYTYPE NE 'SEDAN';
ON TABLE HOLD AS File1 FORMAT BINARY
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
WHERE DB_INFILE('File1',COUNTRY,COUNTRY);
END
