RE: Review File Question

[Martin Linden <martin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried to do this and I made it the tiresome way

260|c has 2000 or 260|c has 2001 etc etc


i.e.  several similar lines the only difference between the lines the year.

don't forgetting to group the lines if there are other conditions
