Thank you William , 

What I need to do is to iterate through values, right now what I am
doing is something like: 

ZM = 0 ; 
ZM = IIf (ComputeValue( A5M ) > 0   , A5M, ZM); 
ZM = IIf (ComputeValue( A4M ) > 0   , A4M, ZM); 
ZM = IIf (ComputeValue( A3M ) > 0   , A3M, ZM); 
ZM = IIf (ComputeValue( A2M ) > 0   , A2M, ZM); 
ZM = IIf (ComputeValue( A1M ) > 0   , A1M, ZM); 

What I would like to do instead is to say: 
A[1] = A1M; A[2]=A2M ; A[3] = A3M; A[4] = A4M; A[5] = A5M; 

 i=1;
 do
 { 
  ZM = IIf (ComputeValue( A[i] ) > 0   , A[i], ZM); 
  i++; 
 } 
 while( i < 6 ); 
  

This way I can make the code more readable and I can change the Array
only without the rest of the program. 

In vbscript there is the 'for each' functionality which would be close.

Thanks again,
I really appreciate all the comments.

Sam
