Excellent! I like the efficiency of this inlist code.

Another solution is

... if inlist(var, 8070, 80703)

I assume the variable is in numeric format.

. list

     +-------+
     |   var |
     |-------|
  1. |  8070 |
  2. | 80703 |
  3. |  8071 |
     +-------+

. list if substr(string(var),1,4)=="8070"

     +-------+
     |   var |
     |-------|
  1. |  8070 |
  2. | 80703 |
     +-------+

 If I have a variable that contains:
        8070
        80703
        8071
 is it possible to define an -if- statement that will give me
        8070
        80703
 but not
        8071
 ?
