Hi Colleen,<br>
Why not just write a brief Inline script to loop through the array and
find the smallest value?<br>
How many values do you have?<br>

<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?<br>
