does CR have a "like" or "in" function like SQL does?

does CR have a "like" or "in" function like SQL does?

does CR have a "like" or "in" function like SQL does?

(OP)
i am looking for a method to compare the numeric value of a column to a list of known numbers.  Does CR have something similar to oracle's sql (the "IN" or "LIKE")
such as   

If (column) in ('1234','2345','3456') then
"bob's your uncle"
elseif (column) in ('9876','8765','7845') then
"bob's your aunt"
else
nothing

Thanks

Hello

Yes, you can use either the like or the in operators in Crysal reports.  Look up In Array Operator, In Range Operator, and in String Operator.  for the like, use the search to locate the Like operator.  Crystal Help on these two are quite good.

Hope this helps.

I have found that you can use the IN statement with Crystal reports. The trick is that you need to enclose the qualifiers in square brackets. I.E.
{PO_Custom_TextSmall1.potxt_Small02} IN ['Closed','Active']

Hi Darwin,
you may also find little used functions called:- "lookslike" and "soundslike" in the additional functions!
