Hi,

You should put in your check file either a LEGAL command or both a RANGE and a LEGAL command, depending on the exact values you want to accept.

Example (with the figures you gave):

1. Only with LEGAL command block

variable_name LEGAL 1 2 3 4 5 96 97 98 99 END end

2. With LEGAL and RANGE commands

variable_name RANGE 1 5 LEGAL 96 97 98 99 END end

NB: in the latter case, be sure to put the RANGE command before the LEGAL command block

Hope this helps

Good luck

Yves MP

Is it possible to include 2 ranges in variable field of a chk file? doing this gives me an error message. I.e. "1-5,96-99"
