Toby,

There are many things you should be aware of, but I have no idea
whether you are or are not.  Some might be surprised at these

   2    x = "G" ;
   3    If X In : ( 'Red' 'Blue' 'Green' ) Then Y = 'Match' ;
   4    put y= ;
   5    run ;

   Y=Match

Anyone know of something that I should be aware of when using the In
operator and colon modifier together like:

If X In : ( 'Red' 'Blue' 'Green' ) Then Y = 'Match' ;
