Although Ronnie declared himself satisfied with the thread, what he was
trying to do still seemed puzzling to me. 

Just to add as a footnote, especially for anyone interested in the issue
of checking data, that -extremes- on SSC supports -if-, -in- and -by:-
and a variety of checks, to the extent that it seems to offer much of
what Ronnie seemed to be looking for.

True true, and Nick did propose something along those lines yesterday,
however (and I may be wrong), 
having the `i''s and `j''s gives me more documentation options so I can
produce something like this 
where product, unit, and price codes call come from these scalars

Potential error in the price for product 25 & unit 11
Average price is 777.7
   +------------------------------------------------+
   | houscode | qtr | fup_pdt | fup_unit | fup_unpx |
   |----------+-----+---------+----------+----------|
   |      407 |   2 |      25 |       11 |    15000 |
   +------------------------------------------------+

Anyway I think I can safely close this thread. As always, a great
learning experience (and a 
reminder that I should give back more to this great community)
