If there is no such command as "find min," or "find max," can you copy
the array, add a nonnumeric tag that indicates position (abcd), then
sort the array numerically & use the nonnumeric tag to indicate the
lowest number's position in the original array?<br>

<div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">I've got an array to which
I've assigned a list of random numbers (e.g., Array(0) =
random(0,100)). I need to find which element/array position has the
lowest value without sorting the array (position in the array is
important for another variable later on). I've spent a good amount of
time searching to figure out what the code is to find the minimum value
of a list of variables, but haven't found anything yet. There is no
obvious documentation of a general "find min" and "find max" function
outside of the summation object. (Note that a summation object won't
help because it will return the minimum of a set of values, but will
not, as far as I can tell, indicate which variable (or observation) the
minimum value is linked to). There's got to be a find min/max ability
in there somewhere! Can anyone point me in the right direction?</font></div>
