thank you. a very elegant solution.

i found that if i parameterize my values, it works.

set V48= "V<48"
set V57= "V>57"
set V65= "V<65"
set V90= "V>90"
set V97= "V<97"
set V122= "V>122"

     C:\Cachesys\bin\cterm.exe /console=cn_iptcp:%%x[23] C:\Users\................\ERROR_IN_CODES.scr %%x %V48% %V57% %V65% %V90% %V97% %V122% 
 

I (<p2>!(<p3>))&&(<p4>!(<p5>))&&(<p6>!(<p7>)) 

each entry in the global is unique. i only need to be able to access only one entry. say, ^OPG("AC","MD",1,3). that's it.
