Hi all,
Can someone please help me figure out why the first -levelsof- statement,
below, isn't producing anything? The output from the -di- statement leads me
to believe that the -inlist- portion of the last statement should give me what
I want, but it clearly does not. As you can see, if I specify the arguments of
-inlist- directly, I get the result I want. 
Thank you,
Danielle Ferry
