Hi all, 

 

Today I wrote this code

If (ccc > 365) or (s5> 365) or (s8>365) or (dpo >365) then delete;

I am wondering if there is any chance to shorten this code because 365 repeated many times.

 

Warm regards.

Thank you for your help, have a fabulous and productive day! I am a novice today, but someday when I accumulate enough knowledge, I can help others in my capacity.

If max(of ccc s5 s8) > 365 then delete;
